I’d like your advice on finding some Safe and Moderate school choices. I will be a senior in HS next year in an urban public school. My qualifications are:

SAT: math 620, writing 690, reading 740
SAT II: math level I 600, U.S. history 690, biology E 740

Class rank: top 10% (comming from a graduating class of 800+)

Activities: Student Council 3 yrs: community service chair, senator; NHS Vice President, Varsity Crew team captain, Headmaster’s Advisory Panel 2 yrs, International Language Club 2 yrs, Certified Crew Coach, Part-time job at Boys & Girls Club (had been volunteering for 3 summers), volunteering at hospital

My school does not have a standard 6.0 or 4.0 GPA so I’m guessing it’s a 3.5-ish. I have taken four AP classes so far and plan to take four next year. I have also done course work at University of M.A. Lowell and not-for-credit work at M.I.T.

Thank’s for any advice :)
