Which looks more impressive?

Winning awards in national science competitions and doing summer research shows a passion for science, so if that’s your major, I’m pretty sure that’d be looked at very favorably. Being on student counsel, depending on whether or not you actually did anything or not, can show leadership and…experience in various things, I guess. Volunteering is always nice. Being in a ton of clubs isn’t impressive unless you’re active in all of them and…I don’t think that contribute is the right word, but that’s the only word I can think of.

Ehh. I’m inclined to say that winning national science competitions is more impressive. But the idea of doing things just to look impressive annoys me.
