<p>Hey guys, I was wondering... if someone wants to take self study ap classes how do they list them to colleges if the test isnt taken yet. Im a rising senior and thinking about taking AP Env Sci on my own but I will be admitted before colleges see the score. Do I list it as one of my AP classes on my schedule or what?</p>

<p>No you can't list it as a class on your schedule if you are not taking it.</p>

<p>For most colleges you have to send a mid year report and an end of year report, sent from your high school. AP enviro would not be on your schedule.</p>

<p>You can sign up, and take the test next May and have the scores before you go to school in the fall.</p>

<p>OK gotcha, thanks for the clarification</p>

<p>could you do it as an independent study with a teacher? That would give you some sort of documentation. I don't think you could reasonably claim it on your app merely because you intend to prepare for and take the exam on your own. Best laid plans and all that....</p>

<p>Im in the Johns Hopkins Gifted Program for students and I can take AP classes through them. Does that count for putting it down on college apps?</p>

<p>You can request a transcript from JHU, or at least some sort of document listing the classes you are taking through them. Send it in as supplemental material, list it somewhere on your app.</p>
