<p>I think that you are pretty well set for everywhere that you applied, especially Bucknell. As I also graduated in the top 5% of my high school class in New York and have a close friend who was accepted to Bucknell with much lower stats then that. Good luck!!</p>

3

<p>im not in the top 5%...</p>

<p>also my GPA went to a 3.9</p>

4

<p>I meant that you have high stats...I know people who have had lower stats that have gotten into Bucknell and Fordham, so it shouldn't be a problem for you...sorry if I offended you</p>

<p>is ure GPA wighted? if it is, what is your GPA without the bonus for AP and honors courses. You have a good chance at all yoir schools anyway. Your SAT's are in range and your GPA is still definatly better then most ppl who apply to those schools...you should be fine for al ure schools. (although since this process is soo terrible, nothing is guranteed)</p>
