Totally agree with gravitas2. You have to remember that they TYPICALLY use ECs and inventions to make distinctions between people who are HIGHLY qualified students (unless, perhaps, you’re a highly sought after athletic recruit, development case, or fit some extraordinarily rare niche).

I had several friends with truly amazing ECs (i.e., started actual Non-Profit Organizations, spoke several languages, etc.) and/or compelling personal stories who were not admitted because they simply didn’t make the academic cut.
