Getting into a top 10 graduate mechanical engineering institution

[Char123]

I am only an incoming sophomore, but I would like to find out if these goals are worth of a top 10 mechanical engineering graduate school. I go to colorado state university which is in the 67th percentile rank for ME majors. I was very lazy my freshman year and only managed to get a 3.46 gpa, but I knew all the material and think I could've gotten a 4.0 if i put my time in it. I got a B in differential equations but I plan on retaking that to get an A. My goal is to have a 3.7-3.8gpa, but I will definitely try to get all A's. Very confident with my math skills, so probably a top 90% percentile gre quantitative score. I'm starting to read alot of hard novels from a top 100 book list to increase my comprehension and vocabulary. I would say at least a 550 on the verbal. I plan on getting research experience starting my sophomore year throughout my senior year. Do clubs matter? Is volunteering for something like habitat for humanity beneficial on an application? I'm not sure about internships, but I think if i had to choose between internships and research, I'd choose research.

Will those goals provide me a good chance of getting into a top 10 graduate institution? I just want some opinions. Some schools I'm interested in are: UC berkeley, purdue, UT austin, university of illinois, georgia tech, umich. Not really interested in stanford, caltech, MIT, some of those averages are really intimidating.
