it depends on a number of factors such as ADN vs BSN program and private vs public colleges or universities. you have a decent chance remember that most schools do not accept you into a nursing program until you complete pre reuisite courses such as anatomy & physiology and take an entrance exam.

I'm going to a community college and I can tell you that they don't care how I did in high school : ) However, most of us knew that we needed straight As in the core pre-requisite classes to be accepted. For us, those classes were A&P, microbiology, nutrition, psych. My advice since you are a junior is to take as much science as you can. Find out if you can even take two sciences at the same time like biology and chemistry. Even if you don't get great grades when you take these in high school, it will give you a step up when you take the classes in college.
