<p>Well, you could have been more specific. Also, you shouldn’t really ask US what schools we think would be right for you. That’s something you have to do on your own - do the research just like everyone else on this site did. Right off the bat, I’d say you could get into schools like NMH, Berkshire, Salisbury, MAYBE Concord. Your SAT score is rather low for schools that are more selective. Also, what did you receive on those APs? And, really, I don’t see much of a need to do a PG year. Most people do it to take advanced courses, which you’ve already taken plenty of, and to improve in sports, which you don’t seem to do any of (might hurt your chances a little…most schools like to see students involved in sports, since most schools require stuents to be a part of a sport). But, like I stated before, I don’t really see a reason why you’d want to do a PG year…instead you should take an interim-year and volunteer to teach impoverished students overseas or something of the sort (that’ll look good in your college apps…much better than doing a PG year). Anyways, good luck.</p>
