I have a 4.00 GPA and i really want to attend Harvard or Yale. I get straight A's obviously. Do you think that i have chance. I speak French, Spanish, English, and Wolof ( an African language). I will be happy to know what you think. Also i would really appreciate it if someone has attended these schools to please tell me what i have to do. I want to become a Doctor or a Heart Surgeon.

i'll open by saying that harvard and yale are not the only schools. they may not even be right for you. but you asked, and i'll do my best to answer.
the way to have the best chance of getting into harvard or yale is not just to have the best grades, scores, and most impressive extra-curriculars. you also need to be interesting. read books, discuss pertinent issues. use correct grammar, for god's sake. sure, you probably have a chance. but try to find something that distinguishes you from everybody else; find what makes you special. not just for the purposes of the application, but for the purposes of life in general. be confident, be wise, and look at everything as a way to make yourself better and more interesting.

You really need to stand out. You'll also need to do some community service/volunteer. It takes more than straight A's to get in those schools because everyone who applies has straight A's.

to go to an ivy league school you have got to have connections. I know its stupid, but from age 10, your parents need to get people at the schools to know your name. You cant expect to get into Harvard without them knowing about you. Although your experience sounds amazoing, try going up to Massacheutts foir a visit and get your self noticed =)
