<p>I am going to be a high school sophomore and I REALLY want to get into Harvard. Currently I am involved with my school's soccer team, I sing in the chorus, I'm on class council, and for quarters 1,3 and 4 i made High Honor Roll (thats the top honors at my school). My GPA (as of now) is a 3.22 and my report card has 7 A's 2 B's and 1 C+ (the C+ was in Honors History...due to a lack of writing ability that I have since developed). What else can/should I be doing to make getting into Harvard an easier task?</p>
<p>Although the advice is from a Dartmouth Admissions Officer, it could apply to applicants to Harvard, or to any other college: [Perspectives</a> from Dartmouth Admissions: “How can I improve my chance of admission?”](<a href=“http://dartmouthperspectives.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-can-i-improve-my-chance-of.html]Perspectives”>Perspectives from Dartmouth Admissions: "How can I improve my chance of admission?")</p>
