Anyone know how to show AP's to be SELF STUDY on the (common) application.

Also, my school doesn't weight GPA. How much do colleges see that I've done fine on AP's, without the GPA boost.
in other words
My grades are not all straight A's, because my classes are pretty challenging.
They are not weighted. I took the AP exams in Physics, Chem, Math, etc. and did well on them. Will the colleges relook at the GPA, and give consider-
ation for the fact that the 3.7 GPA I have might be higher, if it weighted?

Thanks.
