Putting self studied textbooks in Common App Additional Info?

<p>Should/can I do it? I have self studied a lot of undergraduate/graduate level textbooks in mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry.</p>

<p>No, self-study can mean many things to different people, adcoms have no idea if you really know the material or if you just skimmed the books or didn’t understand the content. If you did an independent study class in HS or took an AP test afterwards, something concrete, that would be worth reporting.</p>
