Could I get into Northwestern/McCormick?

I was hoping to gain some advantage from my year of exchange - it is a very selective program (only 65 high school students are chosen to go abroad).

But failing that, does anyone have any ideas for things to do my senior year to boost my application?
I rowed crew last year, but do not intend to continue this upon my return. I was planning on volunteering at the local boys and girls club and maybe doing some tutoring on the side, but other suggestions for interesting (and college-app boosting) extracurriculars would be appreciated!
