<p>Your chances seem to be good. But you are only starting your junior yr in hs. Take the time to try and figure out what kind of college you would like to attend. If Bucknell fits, then convince them it is one of your, if not the, top choices. </p>

<p>If you can improve any of your stats, that will only benefit you.</p>
