Going to be a junior next year with 1 AP course...?

Hi everyone, I’m currently a sophomore but I’ve been stressing a little about my courses next year. I’m going to be taking 3 courses at my local community college, 2 honors, and 1 AP. I know a ton of juniors typically take more APs but it’s something my school won’t allow – so I’m going to have to rely on community college courses since I’m not able to take any more advanced classes through my school. It’d be my first time taking any kind of challenging course at this school (my previous school didn’t let freshmen/sophomores take honors or APs).

My junior schedule:
English Composition I (college-level)
Honors Algebra 2
Honors Chemistry
AP Psychology
Introduction to American Government (college-level)
Introduction to Sociology (college-level)
Anatomy and Physiology
French II

The universities I plan on applying to are the University of Washington, University of Minnesota (Twin Cities), University of Rochester, Bowdoin College, and Smith College. Anyway, do you think I’m at a disadvantage since I’ll be taking a ton of community college courses over very few APs? Do APs matter more to them? I do plan on taking a few APs in my senior year, but I’m worried that won’t impress colleges enough…I’ll probably have a total of 5 APs, when I know other students take 8 APs or more. /:

Thanks for taking the time to read this post and have a nice day!
