How do you make yourself stand out during OCI when you don't have law review/journal or any other extras like moot or trial ad? I didn't join any clubs as well.

That will make you standout but not in a good way. Have you done anything else before law school that is extraordinary? Are your law school grades amazing?

Not really. I just did a few internships, one was with The White House during undergrad; summered at the DOJ

Be a good interviewer. Have a personality. Have passion.
