Hey man, this is just my personal observation but the more I look into extracurriculars, the more I realize legit everyone trying to get into the Ivy League is doing the exact same 4 5 starter pack extracurriculars like creating a non-profit, starting or leading some club, doing some random internship, doing research with a professor etc etc.
Theoretically, if everyone is doing the same thing wouldn't that have an inverse effect and make you stand out less and just look like you did all of it just to get into an Ivy League instead of genuinely pursuing your passion.
Idk man, I'm just genuinely confused . If not these, then what else can one do?
