What can I do to ensure that I can go to Harvard University?
I'm a junior in high school with relatively high grades. I have a 3.88 grade point average, am involved in five different clubs, and have all honors classes. I was wondering what else I could do to ensure that I will go to Harvard University? Any ideas would be very helpful, thank you.

You need to get near prefects on the SAT or ACT, if you want to ensure getting into Harvad with that GPA. for sure. What kind of clubs are these? If there is still time, then try to get into and place high in state and national competitions... which is done by some clubs. I was in four clubs in high school and the only serious one was the Future Farmers of America... I competed in state compeitions and placed high. I was only in it for two years though and the compeitions I did were team ones and as a whole our teams didn't qualify for nationals. Then again with my ACT scores of 23.. I knew I wasn't going MIT or anything. However, the university I end up going to wasn't bad it got me into graduate school. My master's program got such a good reputation I could probably get into MIT or Standford... definately anything in the Big Ten
