What kind of grades do you need to get to go to harvard? becuase only one girl from my high school went there and she wasn't even in the top 10 students and she didn't have straight A's..does it have to do with extra curricular activities? and if i'm not good in sports can i just be involved with a lot of clubs?

Getting into college is not about just grades and test scores or even playing a sport. You are involved in the school setting which is a big plus. Harvard don't just want straight A top students but diverse students in their University. In addition, you have to write a compelling essay. Don't lean on your grades as a cluth but you should hightlight your good qualities in your clubs your involved in. Your grades and test matter but that don't really show university what type of student they have, other qualities count. Education is an investment, getting good grade necessarily doesn't transfer well in the real world, good grades do show your committed and studious but not necessarily a leader or good with working with others.
