Wait List Acceptance Rate

Bucknell University's wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 is a mere 0.04%, with only 1 out of 2714 wait-listed applicants being accepted. This marks a decline from the previous year (2023), where the acceptance rate was 0.08%, again with just 1 admission out of 1233 offers. Historically, from 2020 to 2022, Bucknell had no admissions from the wait list, leading to a 0% acceptance rate over those years. The significant increase in the number of applicants offered a place on the wait list in 2024, but with a lower success rate, illustrates the heightened competitiveness and uncertainty surrounding Bucknell's admissions process.
