How to increase chances of getting into Harvard Medical School?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>I am currently a senior in High School and close to graduation. I have decided to attended my state's public university (I have gotten accepted and the university honestly isn't bad, 84% grad rate) because I do not want to invest a whole lot until grad school. I know it is a bit too early to think about all this but I was wondering what I can do to be on top of my game in college and improve my chances of getting into HMS? I want to be a psychiatrist and will probably be doing a double major in college in psychology and biology. </p>

<p>Some personal information: I am very dedicated and ambitious when it comes to pursuing academic careers. All throughout high school I have made straight A's and participated in a lot of community service. I DO NOT mind working hard, studying and not going out on weekends because I have work to get done. I am 100% willing to take any extra steps required to achieve success. </p>

<p>Thank you so much to those who reply :)</p>
