<p>I think it’s frowned upon to have self-studied so many APs that that becomes your main extracurricular: that, I have heard, is a definite no-no. Studying is not an EC. I myself self-studied two, which was fine. I’m not sure it mattered much, though. </p>
<p>That advice does not include taking AP tests for subjects you’re taking a class on but that your school doesn’t offer at an AP level, like taking AP Euro (which covers the Renaissance to today) if you’re in “History of the European Continent Fall of Rome-Present” or something. I think that’s never a bad thing, again, as long as it doesn’t crowd out actual ECs.</p>
