Keep in mind that most people applying for ivy league schools submit applications that could be clones of each other. EVERYONE has top marks, volunteers at the hospital, raises money for charities (bonus points for third world countries), scores honours on conservatory music exams, plays sports, etc etc. You will need to create your own profile that shows that you are both talented AND unique, and that you have the creativity and potential to be a leader in your field in addition to having the grades. And finally, avoid doing things over the next four years for the sole purpose of getting you into Harvard. Do things that interest you and that reflect YOU as a person. With all the applications the admissions office processes, I'm sure they can smell the ones that are superficial and concocted to seem impressive.
