<p>If I self-studied for two AP exams, would it affect a university-calculuated GPA? I'm more specifically curious about how the UC system will view and account for self-studied APs.</p>
<p>From what I know, self-studied classes have no affect on the GPA because you don’t actually take the class… There is no loss; just benefits, and the benefits being you get another AP test on your AP exam record without needing to forfeit room in your schedule to take the class.</p>
<p>Unless your school puts the class on your transcript, self-studying will not affect your GPA. I asked about this, and my school said that it was technically illegal to give me AP credit on my transcript for self-studying, even if under the “guidance” of a teacher. Around here, it can only go on the transcript as a research credit, which is unweighted and therefore contrary to the desired goal.</p>
<p>Yeah I don’t think your gpa gets affected at all</p>
