How can I get into Brown or Cornell University?

I'm currently a sophmore in high school. In my freshman year I had a 3.7 GPA and I took 3 Pre-AP classes. For my sophmore year I'm taking Pre-AP English II, AP World History, Pre-AP Chemistry, Spanish II Pre-AP and Algebra II Pre-AP. My extracirriculars are Girl Scouts, where I'm currently working on my gold award which is a big community service project and is the highest award you can recieve in girl scouts, for that project I'm going to India a children's heart specialist hospital, where my uncle works and I'm going to start my own "Cheer Up" program for the children who are recovering from their surgery and help make their recovery as comfortable as possible by making them gift baskets, reading to them and entertaining them. Also, I'm part of club in school called Friends of Rachel, where we spread kindness throughout the school and help make new students feel comfortable. I'm also in an Indian Dance Group where we perform different dances twice a year. What else should I do?
--------------------
You are in great shape! Stay the course with the Girl Scouts, you have no idea how well it will be regarded in the future. You are obviously taking the hardest classes and have some great community service work. Maybe add in a sport? HS student government? Besides that, just knock out your SATs and AP tests and you should be well on your way. Good luck!
