<p>I would never want to tell someone to not try for something they really want, but your stats (as you know if you have done the research) are well below Bucknell's median range. You GPA and SAT's are low and your AP's are 3 for the most part. </p>
<p>In my opinion, as a parent of three kids accepted and one attending Bucknell, retake the SAT and improve your score, distinguish yourself somehow in your EC's and apply ED.</p>
<p>If you like Bucknell, then go for it. For a 4 year investment, you really probably don't have anything to lose like I've said before--Other than some $ sending in test scores and your application fee. There are essays as well, so maybe a bit of time on those as well.</p>
<p>It seems as though Bucknell is pretty decent in picking students and seeing through cold, hard statistics--even if your stats are a bit below the median or what anyone else would consider "par" you'll probably be fine here and can still definitely make a contribution.</p>
<p>Not to say that it's easy, but like most other things, certainly not impossible!</p>
