Hi! I'm Julio, and I went to Harvard University. What I did to prepare was to take the hardest courses I could and to get leadership positions in extracurriculars I really liked. I was a leader in the school orchestra and band, as well as the treasurer for the French Club and participated in Model UN. I think it's important to demonstrate that you have passions for things outside of yourself and school while still maintaining academic excellence. At the end of the day, do your best and apply! I think these things took me far, though :)
