Senior Self-studying AP. Worth it?

<p>Hi, I'm Junior right now, and will be Senior next year.
So my school doesn't offer a lot of APs.
I took some APs this year by self-studying JUST to impress admission officers that I self-studied. (I regretted a week before AP exams, looking at all the materials I have to cover)</p>

<p>I'm thinking of self-studying some APs again.
But because I'm self-studying those, nothing will be mentioned about APs in my report card. Even if I write on the application form that I'm self-studying APs, the officers wouldn't know if I'm actually studying or how I'll do... you know what I'm saying?</p>

<p>So.... what should I do? should I self-study or choose another way of showing that I'm challenging myself.</p>

<p>Maybe a Universtiy Course will help?
What do you guys think?</p>

<p>At this point, self-studying additional APs probably wouldn't do much in terms of your impression on the admission officers. However, if you have a genuine interest in it, then what's forcing you to take the AP exam? A good way to figure out whether or not you're actually interested in the material is to tell yourself you won't be taking the AP exam. </p>

<p>Of course, getting the college credit also helps, if you study well enough. If you're just looking for a way to show them that you challenge yourself, I'd move on to other things.</p>
