Does it hurt you to self-study an AP Test even if your school offers it?

<p>I’m trying to go for the Siemens award, and though my school offers all the courses, they’re not available until senior year. How will this affect my college admissions?</p>

<p>it will make you stand out.
Self-studying shows your work ethic.</p>

<p>Dude if you are in New England …have you noticed the number of APs
you have to do to be competitive for the Siemens AP award…?

<p>unless you got done with 8-9 by sophomore year it is goignto have some
serious quality fo life implications :(</p>

<p>is there widespread evidence that the Siemens AP award is something that
will help an applicant tremendously? </p>
