<p>I am hoping to take an ACT in the future and is aiming for a 35. In the case that I get the wanted score, what other EC would make me visible to Yale or Stanford? So far, I have Eagle Scout (around 500 volunteer hours) , Basketball 3 years, basketball referee for 3 years, MUN for 3 years, Investing Academy(club my friends made) for 2 years, and tutored some kids. My GPA is 4.0 weighted, 3.85 unweighted, and will be taking 6 APs this year. I took SAT Math II so far, but will be taking some more. I didn't do well on my two AP tests, as I got 3's. I'm hoping for an internship at a local hospital, as I want to be a biomedical engineer. My lack of EC is really bothering me, and I really want to get noticed by Stanford. What EC's can I do to improve my resume?</p>
<p>Your ECs are fine. Dont look at what kids on this forum are doing, and assume it as a standard. Some are trolls and others are straight out crazy. Push for that internship. It will help.</p>
<p>Well I usually charge for this, but since you are so willing to do my checklist, here are some proven activities:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>work on a few paleontology digs and discover a rare fossil</p></li>
<li><p>publish a YA novel</p></li>
<li><p>discover a new star</p></li>
<li><p>propagate orchids and sell enough to pay for your college</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Great link. Do wat u like. Not wat the school wants. U dont know wat they want. But u do know what YOU love</p>
<p>P.S that kid who built a nuclear reactor probably feels like **** now since whenever rejection comes to mind, he is used as an example.</p>
<p>LOL. The S word is censored.</p>
