What level of schools can I realistically look at?

<p>I'm just curious where I can realistically look at schools. I live in Boston, and am a junior. I'm interested in Navy, W&M, BU (which is my safety), Richmond, Maryland, and maybe some schools out west. Here are my credentials:</p>

<p>GPA- 3.2 unweighted (my school doesn't weight GPA). Sophomore year was very weak, I had about a 2.7 in all honors. But junior year I have a 3.6, with only 2 grades below A-. Also this year, I'm taking all honors and AP history. Will this improvement look good? I know my GPA isn't very strong but I'm hoping other parts of my application will help me out.</p>

<p>Test scores- Got a 1950 on my first SAT, but I didn't study whatsoever. I'm taking them again, hoping for a 2100+ with the help of a tutor and studying.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars-
Three season track athlete, one of the top in my grade in the state for the mile/2mile. I was in the top 5 on my cross country team that won the state championship (we were also top 50 in the nation). Qualified for division state meet 6 times.
Business manager/writer/columnist on my school newspaper for 3 years.
Volunteer in school library once or twice a week, also at homeless shelter during the summer.</p>

<p>I'm very social, teachers (for the most part) love me. I do very well at interviews, and my writing is very strong. I'm also taking AP Stat, AP Enviro, and AP Gov next year.</p>
