<p>I'm a senior and I'm thinking about self studying AP Chem and Calculus BC. I will be applying to UCs. Would I put on the app that I'm self studying those classes?</p>
<p>You could but no one really knows how colleges look at self studying in senior year.</p>
<p>I suppose if you had self studied before than they would trust you more but if you haven't, then I don't know.</p>
<p>The best place to discuss this would be in your essay. Why you are self-studying and how you feel about the topics and your experiences can give the colleges insight into your motivation and ability to learn independently. Just telling them you're doing it doesn't provide much useful information about you.</p>
<p>I see .</p>
