It will help you to an extent, in the sense that it’ll put you above a certain bar. However, top schools generally admit you for a REASON, which often is a reason of their own; not because you’re just a good student showing promise. So I would think about why they would want to admit you. Amazing students with several AP’s get randomly rejected quite frequently, and nobody knows why the people who get in do as opposed to the others very clearly.
