Successful applicants who apply to good colleges and get admitted typically have between 5 and 10 strong ECs which show leadership, dedication, passion and accomplishment.

Having 1 EC will not do very much for you unless you are a Nobel Laureate or Olympian.

If you are a senior there is not much you can do about this in 1 months time before applications are due. However if you are a 10th or 11th grader you have some time to work on this hole in your profile.

Good luck.

If you are in any sports or have any hobbies those are EC's as well. It also depends on the college, some stress EC's while others don't so find some colleges you want to go to and then use collegevine chancing.
