<p>As a freshman what ec activities can I do and what r the best classes to take for a harvard admittance?</p>
<p>harvcrimson, would you really invest your valuable time in some random extracurricular activity, because an anonymous poster on the internet told you it might help get you in to Harvard? Someone foolish enough to do that is likely not the applicant, they are looking for. Don’t you have your own interests and activities that you enjoy doing? </p>
<p>Harvard actually gives some pretty good advice for HS courses on their web site. This would be good advice for any HS student, Harvard-bound or not. Stick to and excel at the basics.</p>

• The study of mathematics for four years, including the particular topics described
• The study of science for four years: physics, chemistry, and biology, and preferably one of these at an advanced level
