I’m a junior and I’m looking to improve my ECs during this summer plz give advice
My school is very small and barely has any clubs so I mostly filled up my ecs with volunteering throughout the year right? but I’m looking at people who got into the schools I really want to go to (brown, nyu, etc) and I realize I’m so far behind it’s not funny. do u guys have any advice on how to make my ecs look more impressive this summer or really anything to help me out😭😭

I think the only thing I have for me is my passion project so I really gotta work more with that but I think I’m cooked. And I haven’t taken a sat yet but for my first one I’m aiming for 1350-1400. My school doesn’t allow us to choose our classes and doesnt have many aps
BTW I want to be a psych major and go into clinical psych or forensic psych and there aren’t may opportunities around me for this interest mostly stem
