Take a standardized test, either the SAT or ACT. You can take it multiple times and whenever you like, but it’s usually done a few times in junior or senior year. 

Submit your grades from all 4 years of high school, they’re averaged into a number called GPA 

Possibly submit scores from SAT subject tests, which are standardized tests about a particular subject 

Possibly submit scores from another standardized test about a certain subject which are called AP tests 

List your extracurriculars, awards, leadership positions, and other Impressive Things

Write an essay or two or three, maybe answer some short answer questions. The essay will depend on the school, as they each have their own prompts (but some overlap)  It’s almost guaranteed that you’ll be asked why you want to attend that particular school or study the major you’re applying for 

In some schools, your race, socioeconomic class, and location will matter bc affirmative action

For some programs like art or compsci, you may have to submit a portfolio

Want to know the downsides?

It’s bad for your health

Your brain can’t process the information you’ve studied (so an all-nighter will most likely do more harm than help you succeed)

The quality of what you’re working on will go downhill if you don’t take breaks

It is bad for your health!
