Prospective Finance Applicant

Hey there, I am perusing a finance career (IB and then HF) after high school. Currently I attend a Top 30 private school in the world with many of the graduates of my school going to the ivies and BB banks. What things should I do to get a spot at Wharton (extra curriculars etc) and what should I do right now in high school.

Thanks

Btw, planning on making my own hedge fund in eleventh grade (i went a year back due to a credits error during switching schools, so i’d be 18 when in eleventh grade)
