Senior year AP scores aren't available for seniors until way after the application process. I think I ended up having 7/11 of my tests during senior year.

Imo the main advantage APs brings is GPA weighting/more impressive looking transcripts.

I think scores often aren't even considered by admissions -- purely used for college credit.

4 standardized test scores before your senior year seems like plenty of information for a college to evaluate a student on. I don't think a college should need 11 standardized scores to conclude that you can probably do college level work.
