You and I seem to have alot in common, even our names! I also applied to Bucknell RD but I really love it. Although I cannot say for certain, from everything I've learned about Bucknell, your chances seem very high. Your extra curriculars and gpa are impressive, and though you seem concerned about your standardized test grades, I think they look good. Sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer, but from what I can see your chances look good. : )</p>

<p>Chances are ok-good. It wouldve been helpful if you told us whether ur applying for liberal arts of engineering because ur sat Math score is significantly low. But then again, you have a demanding high school course, nice GPA, nice EC's. I would say somewhere around 65% chance. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>sorry, I should have mentioned that I am applying for a liberal arts degree</p>

<p>For liberal arts, your chances are pretty high, because you've also taken up AP calculus which is pretty challanging. Besides, the admission committee will feel very stupid if they reject you on the basis of an SAT score (atleast this what i feel)</p>
