Self Study AP Senior Year (Canadian)?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm a senior this year, and I am looking to strengthen my application. I have not yet taken an AP course, and none are offered at my school. I am wondering whether self studying the Macro (or possibly micro) economics AP course in my senior year would add any strength to my application. I am taking general economics in my senior year at high school, but i am wondering if AP would add any additional merit.</p>

<p>Also is there a point to self studying an AP in senior year, seeing as there would be no way to verify it for the college application?</p>

<p>Any advice is very much appreciated.</p>

<p>It probably wouldn’t add much to your application, for the reason you stated.</p>

<p>I tend to agree that the impact would be minimal for college entrance unless you can take the exams and receive the scores before you apply to college. </p>

<p>The value might be receiving college credit (if granted) by the college) of some courses. On another note if you are driven it is possible to self-study AP courses … My son self-studied for 4 AP courses (2 in his junior year and 2 in his senior year … Good luck.</p>
