Here are some websites from Harvard with some good info.

What they factor in to your medical school admissions selection:

The requirements to get into the med school:

Here is what you need to apply to Harvard Uni (not the medical school) as an undergraduate:

There is no set formula. I know from experience that you will need a good high school GPA (mostly A’s, some B’s), with a lot of advanced classes. Good SAT/ACT/SATII scores are also a good idea — in the top 10% of scorers. At least 2-3 extracurricular activities (sports, service work, etc.) would be really helpful. The admissions people may not be this strict, but all the people I know who have gotten in have fit the above criteria.
