Where did you hear the “unusually advanced” work part? I know people who have written typical college topics for Harvard and gotten in. I even asked some students there myself and they said it doesn’t hurt.

To be honest, if it’s an experience that truly conveys you (something not covered in your app well) I would write it. Of course the “harvard level work” depends on not just the content of your essay, but also how you write it.

Best of luck! I’m debating if I should write a supplemental essay too. Hope somebody else can provide feedback to the OP’s question.
