Many many years ago I was an Exchange Student with AFS and it is an outstandingly professional organization that I would highly recommend. They are still going strong. They take immense care in choosing a good fit as a family and environment which is so important for the experience.

I had fufilled all the requirements of my HS in 11th grade so graduated early (I was not outstanding, it may be easier than you think at your school). It is true that all SATs have to be done in the 11th grade which can be a slight advantage as I see with my son, there is a big improvement (or at least can be) between junior and senior year SAT scores. I applied from my host country and had no problems. However, that was more than 25 years ago and things now are a lot more competitive.
