This does not belong in the med student section.

Yea, if you want to go to a state school.Plus ECs: take a new cancer drug through complete clinical trials, find a cure for HIV, and create world peace.
Come on world peace, that's the fluffy Nobel.
Why stop at HIV? Find a cure for death, I'm sure at least one adcom would find that somewhat important.Plus ECs: take a new cancer drug through complete clinical trials, find a cure for HIV, and create world peace.

So true... I would wager that adcomms see at least three of any "unique" anything, each cycle.You won't stand out. Just realize that now and stop worrying. The only way you're going to make yourself stand out is to do something illegal and/or stupid, which will get you rejected.

Bet you my exact experience is unique. The general category it falls under is not, but my exact one is. I'm the President of a web-based non-profit organization aimed at getting students to talk about issues important to them. No one else on the staff is applying, or has ever applied, to medical school. Got a few nurses, but no pre-meds.

Okay, maybe there's not someone who is also the president of said company. But there is someone who's president of an internet based nonprofit that helps kids do something somehow.
Even if I just said I was on the staff, not the President, no one else on my staff is going, or even considering going, to medical school. Got nurses, lawyers, teachers, website designers, but no premeds or docs.
Like I said, I'm sure there's someone out there who runs a non-profit, or who does something in their community similar to what I do, but the non-profit itself is pretty unique.
And I'm positive that nobody my year is applying from my exact volunteer position. Go up one level of abstraction and you fall under the "people who made a really cool non-profit" category. So I guess you're right, you are unique.
