Could i to get into an ivy league college? Preferably MIT or Harvard.?

Nothing you do before high school counts for college, and MIT will limit you to listing 5 activities or less. You need to make those 5 count. The best thing you can do for those schools (besides high grades and test scores, which everyone has) is to get involved in your future major now. I assume that's science (if it's engineering, Stanford, Michigan, Purdue, Cornell, and others are better than Harvard) - get an internship during the summer at NASA, or MIT, or one of the others that offer research opportunities for high school students. Get some research done, hopefully published. That's the kind of thing students applying for top schools have on their resumes - something that makes you stand out a bit.
