Actually, that’s not how it works.
They use reasonable context.
If your hs offers 4 aps, colleges want you to take all 4. If your hs offers 20, they don’t expect you to take 15. They expect you to take 6-8, perhaps 10. After 8 the law of diminishing returns applies and above 10 they don’t count anymore for admission purpose. (they may count for credit, just top colleges consider the basic AP s normal background for freshman courses so they often restrict how many AP credits you can count. No such restrictions at mid level flagships though.)
At a competitive school, what matters is being in the top decile. Your class rank within that decile would only matter if you were attending a lower performing school. Since you attend a highly competitive school, your exact rank doesn’t matter. However what WILL matter is how you use non class time (which is another reason why tons of AP 's and related hw is counter productive).
