Hi, Harvard is one of the top ranking universities in the world and it will require a great deal of hard work to get into it. Academically you must be an outstanding student. Additionally you must have strong extracurricular activities. They look for all-rounders so you have to work on your profile accordingly. Excellent performance in your SAT, SAT subject test, TOEFL, strong SOP, LORs will also be required. Advise you to check the Harvard website to learn about the undergraduate selection process, prepare accordingly.
