You don’t have to do anything spectacular or national-level for ECs to get into Ivy League schools; you just have to show that you made a difference on some level and that you have leadership traits. Make sure your recs and essays are exceptional and you have a decent shot at some Ivies.

Also, UVA and Duke are great schools and they will have a ton of students who are smarter than you. Don’t underestimate them.
