I think your scores are really good, but you should try to raise your grades and rank. Take a challenging course load senior year (APs and honors). Good academic stuff will help you get a scholarship (I got 1/2 tuition like many others on this forum have).

Getting awards is good (something to put on your resume). Take an interview and like GWCurrentStudent said, show interest.

For a very safe safety school, you might try applying to a state school like University of MD College Park, which is good according to US News (#55 I think in the country). Are you a junior? If you are, Good Luck with the application process !!
