<p>The ambulance corp, first responder, and cardiology observation stand out to me. They show a strong interest in medicine, they’re unusual, and they sound like good learning experiences. </p>

<p>The rest are reasonably standard stuff.</p>

<p>Colleges also always like class presidents – but I agree that the ambulance/cardiology work is a strong and less common EC and will be helpful particularly if you are looking towards pre-med</p>

<p>How would having a drivers license be an EC? The NY Fire Patrol organization might have an interesting story.</p>
