You should be good to go! Just keep up the junior year grades.

I think the only issue is check your high school navigator to see what past students had to get in. They cant take every 4.6 or 1500 from one school so also do some research on your high school to better understand your chances (speak to your career councilor should be a great help he/she must have the data). My sons’s Class some kids with high GPAs couldn’t get into UVA or Vtech this year (class size 700).
