I can't take ap spanish due to schedule reasons, so I was wondering whether self-studying for it would be a good idea. Has anyone had any experience in that sort of thing?

Also, If I do choose to self-study for it, how would I let colleges know that? I'm going to be a senior.

Colleges won't know...just study for the placement test once you get to school. You'll be able to place out of as many levels as you would with AP and you'll get the back credit too. Just keep studying throughout the year for that test.

If you have the motivation and the drive, I'd give it a go. It's hard, that's all I can say.

I think I can do it. My only problem is letting colleges know that I AM doing it.

Your GC has to write about your courseload in a letter, so tell him what your plans and ask him if he could maybe let him write about it in his recommendation letter. He could just inform that a scheduling problem prevented him from taking the course, and as a result will be planning on doing a self-study.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks man.
