national, no school team, valuable awards/competitions

I was looking at some of my dream school's past example of all the extracurricular the undergraduates had, which I went to look at the official websites of the awards and I soon come to realize that my small school does not get involved with these. So now here I am worrying about if this and I can't seem to find any national (maybe not even national just valuable) awards that can rise my chances to get into the prestigious school.

(Dont have any arts cell in my haha so anything related to art I won't be able to do it sadly.)

If there are no clubs or events related to your interests at your school, consider creating them. Look for community organizations, online groups, or other opportunities where you can engage in activities that interest you. This demonstrates your commitment to personal growth and development.

Hello ssy0305,

I would recommend joining online art competitions or online music exams like trinity or ABRSM. They can help rise your chances. You can also try starting a YouTube channel or code a simple game if you have the skill.
