Thank you for this detailed response! Since graduating, I’ve been working on a side with a few others from my cohort. Do you think a project like that is a good way to stand out, particularly once we deploy?

I've seen both small and large projects be impressive and the key is that their most memorable ones solve some kind of unique problem or do something uniquely interested aligned with a passion.
Some examples:
1. Walt Disney World itinerary generator
2. Machine learning sheet music generator based on a classical composer producing printable sheet music
3. A iOS game that was like guitar hero but had a novel mechanic
If you forced yourself to do any of these they likely wouldn't be impressive because what was impressive was the creators hit walls that only someone super passionate about those areas would hit and tried many solutions inspired by this higher level of knowledge.
