What do you guys think is the best summer extracurricular?

Hi guys! I've been totally stressing out about what to prioritize and what I can effectively finish before summer ends (August 20) and what I can do during the school year. Summer is when we all have the most time to pursue a passion project or study for standardized tests, so what do you think is best to prioritize or start? Could you please rank it? Thank you so much :)

Let me know if you have another option too!

Volunteering/Shadowing - If so, where do you think its best so I can get more patient contact?

Independent Research (?) - It seems the most accessible way to do research is by doing computational-based projects. I'm more on the biology/healthcare side though, so wouldn't I need to do wet-lab research?

Standardized Test Prep - I'm actually a bit behind on this (I'm taking a course)

Summer School Course - I'm less behind on this, and it's self-paced

Non-Profit (?) - This is my last year that I can actually establish it so I can show depth

Clinical Research (?) - This is for more patient-related research. If this is something to prioritize, where should I reach out?
