I got a 1460 on my SATs and wrote a pretty good essay to get in. Bucknell's SATs keep moving up, so practice as much as you can to get good scores. Make your GPA in high school as good as you can but also get AP or IB credits in as many things as you can - both help for getting in. Don't neglect extracuriculars but also don't pad your resume - instead make sure you are very active in a few strong extracuriculars.

My average was in the low 90s, but my SATs were nearly perfect. I think that's the key getting in here, though I've talked to plenty people who were the reverse or neither.
The other thing you should nail is the essay on the common app. The supplemental essays really allow you to show admissions who you are. Make use of them. My essay was B.S. and I'm sure most other people polished theirs or completely made them up. Don't outright lie, but embellishing certainly is good. This is true of ALL colleges I feel.
And make sure you visit. Go for tours, write down your name on admissions stuff, contact a person in admissions and check in monthly with new essays you've written, new personal accomplishments, etc. You're trying to make a contact and establish that you want to be here.
This is a hard thing to do, and even harder to do if you're not sure if you want to be here. So maybe pick a few schools (your PRAGMATIC top three... i.e. don't shoot for harvard, yale, and georgetown if you've only got 1400/1600 on the SAT and mid 90s. You should probably aim for less prestigious and sought-after schools unless you have a mind-blowing talent) to do this for.
Overall, just do your best to set yourself out from the rest of the crowd.

I did the required exams, like the SAT in which I got 1400, and then I applied. For those of you who want to come here, apply. Its difficult to get in, but if you are bright enough, Bucknell University will do everything it can to ensure that you can afford it.

Get good grades and be very involved in school and non-school activities. Start thinking about what you want to be in life and what educational major might take you there. Look at the organizations and departments Bucknell offers and see which you would be interested in getting involved with, so if you have an interview you can tell the interviewer why you would fit well and what valuable contributions you could make at Bucknell.

Extracurricular activities are EXTREMELY important.
