I’m at junior to graduate in June 2009, was wondering what colleges I should look at. My grades and test scores are decent but my extracurriculars are weak.

Ethnicity: Asian (Chinese)
Gender: Male

SAT/ACT:
SAT Reasoning:
1st try-2240
2nd try-2360
SAT II:
Biology:800
Chemistry:780
Math II:800
World History:800
US History:800
Physics:770
ACT:
1st try-32
2nd try-36

I’d like to point out that I’m in one of these ridiculous school districts where there are B+, C+, etc…

A:94-100 - 4.0
B+:90-93 - 3.5
B:89-84 - 3.0
And so on. Now then…
Unweighted GPA:3.886 out of 4.0 scale
Weighted: Uncalculated since I’m not sure what scale different colleges use.
