Hey everyone!

Just wondering if anyone has an idea of which type of EC's really stand out to med schools.

Besides volunteering and shadowing, I've started the ski and snowboard club at my university and have been the club president for two years now. My club has gone on a few trips to places like Wyoming and Vermont. I've also done competitive snowboarding (freestyle - essentially doing tricks on jumps and rails) for several years, and tend to place well. Basically if I'm not studying, I'm snowboarding.

Does anyone think this is something that would stand out to admissions?

Sure, why not?

Being president of the club can be leadership if you did the right things and competitive snowboarding is all about being committed while improving yourself.

Everyone has their interests they should let shine through.

Just make sure you get plenty of clinical exposure.
