Hello!

I would personally recommend you anything in which you have a leadership position and you can show your commitment. For example, if you participate in your school's book clubs, that is good, yet it isn't as special as someone who founded a book support club at school or made a famous book vlog online. I know it may sound like a lot, but those are the little things that make you unique and stand out from the rest.

I would also advise you to do extracurriculars related to your major of choice. For example, if you want to study biology, do lab research on bacteria, or do a science summer camp, that really works!

Best of luck!
