Getting into one of these schools is hard because there's so much competition, and many of the students at the top look alike. The trick is to make yourself stand out in some way. A lot of people have mentioned joining clubs, playing an instrument... The important thing is to have really invested yourself in something, for example, playing trombone in the orchestra for four years, or being a competitive rock climber. Doing something unusual, and doing it exceptionally well help, but aren't extremely necessary. After that it's basically a marketing job, to show how what you've done is special.

Anyways, don't sweat it too much, and try to enjoy being in high school. Best of luck!
