Something special for my Harvard Application?

I really want to go to Harvard. I’ve been looking and it seems like everybody has the same grades, same SAT score, same extracurriculars. What can I do that will set me apart from the crowd? My parents aren’t alumni or anything.

If I take a summer camp at Stanford or another college, can I put that on my Harvard application?

I have a 4.0 GPA, speak French and Spanish and have all the extracurriculars there. I just want to be different and special so that the admissions officers will remember me!

Sorry this is so long! Thank you so much!
I am Buddhist and a duel citizen of England and America if it helps. I lived in England for 4 and a half years total - does that make a difference?

Does the military help pay tuition for law school?

I’m going to be a junior in high school, and I know for certain that I want to be a lawyer. I know I’m going to Kent State University to get my masters degree of course, but I want to go to Law school also. Somewhere like Yale or Harvard. I’m already working a part time job and saving money in a savings account so I can pay part of the tuition, and I also plan on joining the Military after High School, but I’m just not sure if they will help Law school expenses.

What type of activities would help me stand out on my application to Harvard University?

I speak 4 languages fluently (French, English, Spanish, German) and am currently learning Arabic. I am more than capable of paying the tuition. I have received the Duke of Edinburgh gold award, have over 400 hours of community service and have won the community service award at my school every year. I know this sounds like quite enough, but I would like to go above and beyond to ensure that I am accepted to Harvard University. Any suggestions from those who have real knowledge on the subject at hand?

Does anybody have suggestions on what I can do to make my Harvard University application stand out?

I am merely 14 years old, so I have plenty of time to achieve whatever will make my application more appealing. I’m not a scientist, or an actress, I am extremely interested in economics. Are there any suggestions of things that may make my application more appealing to whoever sees it?

P.S. Somebody suggested to donate a building, approximately how much would that cost? (Just for future reference!)

I want to get into an Ivy League University, can Obama pay for all of my tuition?

I come from a low income family. My mom is a single mother and she makes less than 20k a year.
I want to get into Stanford/Harvard but I don’t think I can get in unless I pay for the admission.

If I ask for a grant from the government, will they pay for my whole 4-year college tuition? Or do they only pay for State universities and not Ivy League schools?
