Engineering and business schools especially have great track record of producing good internships and careers.

this ^ my DC anxiously waiting on ED decision but Bucknell checked all the boxes - significant merit, pre professional business offering, intimate setting, great outcomes, and for social kids who want to have fun. Certainly not for the ivy parent strivers who control their kids’ choices and have a different view than their kids about priorities - mainly being able to humble brag an ivy wish list to aunt edna and uncle phil over thanksgiving turkey.  Bucknell is a gem for the right kid - athletic social smart kid who wants a fun 4 years and land a top job with a business degree. After a long career in finance, I recognize that a kid from Bucknell or Lehigh will more often than not destroy the ivy kids on an elevator test (ie likability)[/quote]

Good luck to your daughter!  My son is in the business program and loves it! His classes are hard but manageable. They are also more hands compared to what you would encounter at a larger school.

He chose Bucknell over a few larger school with lower acceptance rates. He really liked the walkable campus and small classes. My son is a very social kid, not in a frat, and does not feel pressured to be in one. It has been a great fit so far.[/quote]
