What should I do now?
I am planning to pursue STEM major. I have a few leadership positions in activities irrelevant to STEM. I watched a webinar on collegevine and the presenter said that having extracurriculars and leadership positions in STEM-related activities would increase my admission chances. So the question is, what STEM ECs can I do in the current situation?
Note that I don't have experience in STEM activities

Some colleges are offering online summer camps and webinars that are STEM specific so if you look at the websites for schools you are interested in you might find that. My school teaches engineering classes so I have emailed those teachers to ask what camps they know of that are still being held but you could also email a math teacher you have had or a science teacher to see what things they have heard of going on this summer.

I just finished junior year and will start applying next November so I don't have much time to get involved and have leadership positions in those clubs. So is it okay to tell highly competitive schools that I am just a member?
