Suggestions for high school?

<p>I am going to start high school this fall.I have my dreams set on Harvard.Anyway I already have an idea of what I am going to do while in highschool but I want to hear you guys advice.Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>take the highest classes you think you can handle (it’s much easier to drop down than to move up if it becomes too much). study study study and get a high gpa!!! take AP classes and get 5s on them. obtain leadership positions in your ECs and excel at a few things outside of school ex. if you play a sport go for varsity and preferably captain, or if you dig something like science participate in a bunch of science fairs and do well in them. make sure your standardized tests are perfect or nearly perfect. make use of your summers, maybe work during them or go abroad. harvard is a tough goal.</p>
