You need to do more of the "heavy lifting" here. As someone else said, check out www.collegeboard.com. And also see www.princetonreview.com, and read/borrow/buy the Fiske Guide to Colleges and potentially the book Colleges that Change People's Lives. Your PSATs are very low; you'll have to work on that to get those up significantly. Re: the GPA, it's too hard to say since we don't know if the courses you took were regular, honors or AP. We also don't know what you're interested in studying, or whether you'd like a big school or small school, whether cost is an issue, whether you want to be in the city or the suburbs or a rural area.
Please review some of these resources and meet with your school's college counselor for more tailored advice.
Best of luck to you!!!

It's hard to make any sort of prediction considering its only early in your sophmore year of high school. As for schools you could try the UCs or in NY Elmira College, or Syracuse. Your SATs though definitely need to improve... a 1460 (even though PSAT) is just too low.
