give up AP classes for extracurricular?

I really want to do art and tennis next year but it would mean taking away ap classes that would raise my gpa and rank (assuming I get good grades in them). I honestly don’t know what to do… I want to get into ivy league schools and everything and I feel like if I take two other ap classes itll make my gpa and rank more attractive but i love art and tennis (but they are regular weighted classes).

I always wanted to be in band/orch while in high school but never had room to put it in my schedule (just like you). I ended up asking the band instructor if I could sit in during my lunch period. She said yes and I ended up unofficially in both band and orch. without ever enrolling in the classes. Could you possibly do something like that?
