Hey, guys. I'm just getting a little paranoid about college admission. Could you guys just write down some comments?

First of all, I'm a Korean who came to the US 3 years ago. Before that, I've lived in South America for 13 years. So, I speak three languages fluently: Korean, Spanish, English.
Right now, I attend one of the most prestigious private school in the USA. (this year about 50% of the graduates got into IVY-level colleges) This year, I want to apply to Harvard, Yale, and other IVYs, but could you guys write down comments based on Harvard and Yale admission? Desired major is either Business or Law.

This is pretty much everything. Just consider RECs and essays would be pretty good. I'm learning Japanese by myself. Please be candid, I wouldn't seriously mind. Thanks a lot. Good luck to everyone.
