<p>How good/bad do independent study courses look when applying to colleges? My school doesn't offer AP Physics C, but, they do offer an independent study AP Physics C course. I'm not sure if taking this course would look bad to colleges. Currently I have all AP classes for next year and I was planning on replacing one of them with a Physics C independent study course. It sounds interesting to me but, I don't want colleges to think that I am lazy.</p>
