A-levels for Ivy League Admissions

What A-levels should I take to get into schools like Harvard, Yale and Princeton? Also non-Ivy League ones like MIT, Caltech and Stanford?

I know these schools want students who pursue a "rigorous courseload" and I want to take Maths, Further Maths and Physics, but what else? Or should I even take 5 A-levels? A sixth form near me allows doing 5, so it's an option.

I'm thinking as a fourth A-level: Geography, Chemistry, English Lit, Religious Studies, History or Psychology. These schools require a letter of recommendation from a non-STEM subject as well, so I'm not sure what to choose, and whether to do a facilitating subject or not here.

4 is a good balance - source: I did 4 and was accepted to Princeton, Stanford, UPenn, and have helped dozens of students since.

I will note however, that grades by itself do not get you a free pass to the top colleges. The US admissions process is a different beast to the UK.

You will need to have activities outside of your school work that proves your "character".

Are there any clubs that you're a member of? Any hobbies that you've been practicing for the past few years of your life? There is no single answer or trait that gives you a free pass to the Ivy leagues - you need to build a profile that shows:

Lmk if you have specific questions, I will try to respond!

I was wondering what grades you've heard of people from the UK getting to receive offers to top US unis (the only people I knew who went to the USA are relatives who took a different set of exams due to living in another country, but I've heard anything from 4A* to 6A*). I was also wondering what kind of SAT/ACT score you/others from the UK got.

Any advice would help a lot in terms of the applications process as all I've really gone over are course requirements and the SAT. I was also wondering what the British equivalent of a GPA was (I assume something to do with GCSEs?), and if we needed one.

I'm currently doing 4 A-levels (Maths, Comp sci, bio and chem) and I think I have ample super/extracurriculars due to having a range of interests from Y7 which have links to biology/computer science, because frankly I am a very proud nerd when it comes to my niche, having founded a genetics society and taught primary school kids how to program robots this term, as well as having taken things like Bioethics and medical MOOCS from universities like Stanford online when I was about 13.
I have started doing volunteer work from the beginning of this (academic) year and I help to raise funds for bursaries, organize charity events and alumni/parents association events at my school. If you think there's anything else I should be doing that I've neglected, please let me know.

Thanks a bunch!
