What improvements would you like to see to CollegeVine's extracurricular ranking pyramid?

Hi everyone! I'm an Expert moderator for CollegeVine, and I've seen and answered many questions about our extracurricular ranking pyramid. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback about how we could improve the categories and tier descriptions of the ranking system. Any ideas are welcome!

The only thing I can think of is possibly adding more categories for extracurriculars to go into or providing examples of possible things that could fit into each category. Some of my ECs don't fit neatly into the categories that already exist and/or I couldn't decide which one to put them in.

More categories, it's really hard to add our extracurriculars when the pyramid is limited.

I believe someone already mentioned this but adding more categories and possible going into specifics when adding more.

Maybe have colleges that match your profile be the first recommended on College Vine, like 85% and above.

I'd second that.

Lol, I love my idea as well, but apparently I ready the question wrong.

I think the ranking pyramid needs to include very important academics because I took Teacher Academy 1 and 2 but there's no way to put it on my profile. Certain colleges would give me scholarships based on my academics, but the college don't know which academics we took.

Adding an option for Civil Air Patrol or JROTC would be good.
