applying to ivy league as an non american

<p>so I really want to get in harvard's econ
what do I need to do to get in?
what extracurriculars do I need?
since I'm not American (I'm Canadian) is it harder to get in?
what should my average be?</p>

<p>You should start by looking at Harvard admissions web pages.</p>

<p>I’ll tell you this though: By asking “what extracurriculars do I need?” tells me straight away – you’re not the sort that gets in. What do I mean? Read this:</p>
