<p>Dear All Bucknell-fanatics and such:</p>
<p>I have been looking at Bucknell for quite some time, off and on whether or not to apply. OF COURSE, I know that most prestigious liberal arts schools like Bucknell are difficult to gain admission into, but…what I want to major in would probably be most difficult. Which is, Music performance. I am eager to know whether or not I at least have a chance, so…yesh, here goes nothing:!</p>
