<p>Ok, so I've been talking with some people in the forums, and apparently a lot of the schools I've been planning on applying to are "safeties" for my stats. Based on said stats, what do you guys think would be good schools for me?</p>

Choir
Hopefully I'll make 0 period choir again (it's the top choir at my school made up of only 18-20 people so needless to say you have to audition for it)
Teacher's Aide
I chose a lighter course-load this year so I can really focus on my EC's and because I may not be taking a whole lot of courses but they're really good/interesting courses.</p>
<p>I've attended a few summer leadership programs, such as the National Young Leaders' Conference and a LeadAmerica Conference on Forensic Science. I participate in a lot of extracurriculars and I have about 93 hours of Community Service...it's likely that I'll have about 130 by graduation.</p>
<p>I scored a 1670 on the SAT I with an 8 on the essay (My math score really killed me, as I knew it would, math is definitely not my strong point). I scored 470 on the Math section, 580 on Critical Reading and 620 on Writing.</p>
<p>I also took Literature, Math II and Chemistry subject tests and scored 470 on Math (again, math is nowhere near my strong point), 540 on Literature and 450 on Chemistry.</p>
<p>For the volunteer work that I have logged: I was a teacher's aide in summer school, which got me 73 hours. I was also a teacher's aide during the regular school year but did not receive credit and chose instead to receive community service hours, which got me 20 hours. However, I also have several hours I have not logged including singing for the Most Inspiring Student Dinner Awards in my city and doing various performances (with a group) for small children.</p>
<p>As for EC's:
-I was a member of the Women's Varsity golf team for 3 years
-I have been singing for school for the past 9 years and with my church for 3 years. I am involved in the top choir at my school and we have traveled to San Francisco State for a festival and to Jamestown with other choirs from my District for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of Jamestown.
-I have been involved in musical theatre for 7 years
-I am a Co-Chair for the club at my school called GirlsTalk, a club for girls (obviously) to discuss various issues from current events to safe weight loss/gain to pregnancy..pretty much everything under the sun.
-I have been on the Cultural Assembly Committee for 2 years
-I participated in the Invisible Children Club this year (Invisible Children is an organization helping to resolve the issue of child soldiers in Northern Uganda)</p>
<p>That's all the EC's that come to mind.</p>
<p>Oh. I've also received several academic and other awards, including:
-Medal of Merit Nomination (English)
-3 Science Awards of varying levels (Meteor, Comet, Nova)..there are 6 possible awards that can be earned
-Most Dedicated Player (golf team)
-Junior Varsity and Varsity golf letters
-Choir letter
-Outstanding English Student
-Outstanding Modern World History Student</p>
<p>I'm hoping to be a High School science teacher, so obviously I need schools with good teaching programs. What do you guys think? Thanks for the help!!</p>
