A bit of a bad boy quality to you, at least in this picture. Definitely a leading man. Though, in my opinion, I would choose your monologue, not only on what "part" you look right for, but on a connection, does the monologue grab you? Do you care about the character? Do they say anything that relates to you? You have to do this monologue enough times, you probably will want to enjoy doing it!
Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.

To be honest, there's no way I can type you based on a picture. If you shave and put on a suit, you're a young lawyer. If you keep the shirt you're wearing, you're a cool hip guy who spins at the local club.
If you want to get a sense of your type (and range), talk to people who know you and have seen you perform in person. Maybe you can ask some of the actors in your class? Or maybe the teacher?
People need to see how you speak, carry yourself etc before they can say for sure. Sometimes the "tough" looking guy might open his mouth and speak with a lisp or in a feminine way etc. This would affect how he could/would be cast. I do know a guy like that, actually. Also, if I am being honest, before I actually read where that photo came from further down the page, I honestly thought it was one of those digital snapshots people get their friend to take of them to save money on headshots. There are shadows present, the lighting is bad, it isn't in color and the front-on angle is not visually interesting to look at nor does it flatter you. Please help yourself and your career by getting some good shots taken. Just being honest. Good luck to you.
