Im wondering how to get into international universities

Hello collegeviners, I'm a grade 11 student (junior) in South Africa who is very interested in studying in the USA and the UK. I have a 3.6 GPA, I have a leadership position in speech and debate, and now I'm in the middle of starting a non-profit passion project. I would like help to improve my resume and improve my chances of getting into these top schools. Any thoughts?

You already have a really good foundation. I would recommend participating in clubs and activities related to your preferred major. Hope this helps :)

Thank you for your advice. However, my school has very limited clubs for my major. Could you recommend anything from the outside, perhaps? <3 <3 :)

I am ngl I had to do some looking to find things that would be of possible use but I have found some online clubs and programs that could help without having to share sensitive information such as location. But here are some links, ( crimsoneducation.org/za ) ( varsityabroad.co.za/ ) (intoglobal.com/ ) ( studygroup.com/ ) ( ukcisa.org.uk/ ) These were what I could come up with. Let me know if these help:)
