EC Suggestions

I am applying to b-schools like Columbia, NYU, and Darden next year. The only real area that I am lacking in is EC activities. What are some types of things that I can involve myself in over the next year that will look good on my application? As of right now, I pretty much have nothing.

I don't think that for these schools it would be a huge impediment as long as your profile is strong overall. Come up with some hobbies and other random crap and emphasize how improtant that is to you. You might as well apply to MIT - they don't ask for EC's in their app as far as I know.
