Clubs and extracurriculars are a great way to improve your application, especially for more selective schools. At the same time, it is essential that you take an active role in these clubs. Anyone can be a member; ivy leagues are looking for students who start their own clubs, are club presidents, or who lead club projects and initiatives.

Still, it's essential to remember that with a school as selective as Harvard, you could be a very selective applicant and still get turned down. Clubs alone won't get you into Harvard. Your entire application has to be very strong, and you will ideally have a hook that makes you a unique applicant.
