Is there any way of switching classes as a first year

I realized a bit too late that I want to change some of my classes, but is it too late to do that?

LGBT experience on campus

I've heard some not great things regarding lgbt acceptance at bucknell and wondering how much of that holds water? Really liked the school on paper but I'm trans and don't want that to mess with anything

Advice for visiting prospective student (& father)

My rising high school senior daughter and I are visiting Bucknell this Friday. She's interesting in pursuing a TBD STEM field, but also wants to be able to pursue her dance hobby/passion although not as a major.

So for all you Bucknell students/experts...What in particular should we look for or ask during the visit? What was the most important or surprising thing (good or bad) that you didn't fully understand or think to ask about ahead of time?

Thanks for any ideas and advice...

How can I switch into other class sections?

I just got my schedule and I have a Friday 8am lab, and I saw the same lab is also on Tuesday at 7pm. How would I go about asking to switch?

College help!!

I just finished my junior year of high school and it’s time to start applying to colleges. The end of my juinor was a very rough time for me (my relationship with my parents was (is) in a very bad state) and my gpa went down to a 3.1. I have a 32 act, 6 aps, 2 clubs (prez of 1), own a small business, published a book, lots of community service, I work at a summer camp. I definitely want to ED somewhere to boost my chances and I’m deciding between (I think) tulane, lehigh, and bucknell. From what I’ve research, ED chances for these schools significantly increase from RD. I’m not relying on that because they are all good schools but it would be a dream to go to tulane. I am pretty confident that I could get into Lehigh ED based on what other people have said. My dad went to Bucknell, (if that helps) but I don’t think I would get in even if I ED. I visited tulane and loved it and I know that they are all about binding and showing interest in the school, but I think with such a low gpa it wouldn’t make sense for me to get in. 😣 Do they really accept 68% of ED applicants? If I ED there, would I get in?? Someone lmk!

side note: I am white, live in NY, luckily financial aid isn’t an issue, I have an idea of what I would want to major in but if any certain major would help me get into the college I want I would apply for that and then maybe switch.

Question

So I am an incoming junior in highschool, and I have been looking at universities to go to, and I have been looking at Bucknell because it has many of the criteria I am looking for in a college, however I am a bit confused because when I looked at what minors I could minor in, it only said that majors could minor the selected minors of their field. I wanted to minor in Chinese and major in political science for context.

bucknell or lehigh??

I am about to be a freshmen in college and recently got off the waitlist at both schools. I’m going into business and have heard great things about both. however I have a sibling at bucknell and since it’s so small I’m not sure if that would be a bad thing. Anyone who goes to either school who could help me out??

Need Help with deciding for Pre-O

So I am in love with the idea of BuckWild for Pre-O. I love the outdoors, and I have been hiking but never backpacking. I am stuck deciding between Black Forest Trail Backpacking or Worlds End Backpacking. I really want to challenge myself but I am worried the Black Forest will be too much. If anyone has gone to either, please tell me about your experiences.

Physics Majors?

Hey, any physics majors at Bucknell? I'm looking to apply in a small school for physics but heard that each school has super different students, so I'd just like to meet the students in the physics department since that will be the biggest variable in my decision. How are physics students at Bucknell like? What's the culture within the department, and how would it differentiate from other LACs? (assume idk anything, I don't know much about LACs). I'm a bit worried, since I actually don't know much about physics due to the online learning disruption from COVID, I was hoping going to a smaller university would make it easier for me to catch up. Thanks!

Prospective student questions

I’m interested in the business school and will prob be a finance major. What companies employ students at the business school? Good connections to firms in NYC? Are the professors good?

Do you get into business school right away? If not, was it relatively easy to do so?

Is there an extensive core curriculum? Were there courses that were mandatory that you felt were completely unnecessary and a waste of time? Comparing to other universities, are there less liberal arts courses in the core curriculum?

How is the rec center/ gyms? Large/small? Old/new?

What is the social scene? Are there parties? Events? School spirit? Football games?

Lastly, how is the campus feel? Is there a lot of greenery and nice study spaces? Are the structures modern or outdated??
