<p>I am in no way saying I will do this, just an observation. If Harvard has certain numbers of each type of person they want to recruit, then in theory, picking wouldn’t picking “uncommon” choices on the supplement be a boon?</p>
<p>Of course, it would be lying, which is bad.</p>

<p>I wondered the same thing, but decided it’s not wise. I think it’s important for you to show you’ve pursued your intellectual interests in some way. If your EC’s and courses taken in high school are completely unrelated to your stated interest, what does that say about you? Also, you might be questioned about your career interest in an interview, and that could be awkward. My S said he was interested in political science, and I know interviewers asked him questions about current political events.</p>
