<p>How much does National AP Scholar stand out to good private universities like NYU or BU?</p>

<p>Is it worth self-studying 3 APs while taking 4 already?</p>

<p>It is 8 or more exams. It is generally agreed upon that self-studying, regardless of the award, is a good way to improve your application, but only if you do well (which you plan on since you are going for natl. AP Scholar). If it was me, I would do it.</p>

<p>I know it is 8. I took WHAP last year and got a 5.</p>

<p>I think I am going to give it a shot. The exams I chose to self-study (Human Geo, Comparative Gov, and APEH) are not only not hard, but they interest me a lot.</p>

<p>My actual AP classes will not be so bad. I am great at APUSH, AP Psych is easy, I am a native speaker so AP Spanish is a breeze, and English (the only one I could get a 3 on) can be mastered with my great teacher.</p>
