Hi (looking for gibby), I was wondering what if I take like 4 AP exams(self-studied) and they relate to my extracurriculars, will it show the Harvard admissions board that I have a strength in these areas(knowledgeably)? I know grades can do this, but I want to show them them my knowledge in very vast(college-level) in these areas. Example, if I have a great interest in literature and I write plays and am the head of a literary magazine at my school and then I take AP English Literature and Composition exam. I want to take it to show them that I am interested in this area and that I do excel in it. What if I do both, heavily participate in the my area of interest and take the corresponding AP exam? Is this bad, and will this reduce my chances for Harvard?
