Is it good idea of taking very hard course load?

Since the prep school do not give weighted averages. My daughter barely qualifies in top 10%. She has taken in 10th AP Physics, AP Euro and AP BC Calculus. This year she is taking AP Chemistry, AP US history, Linear Algebra and differential equation. In 12th she is planning to take AP French, AP Biology and Micro and Macroeconomics and other courses. Her school offers all these APs. Most of the top 10% kids have less APs starting with one or two in 11th grade? Will she be judged on same basis with kids who have taken a much lighter load? Her ECs have same level of committement as rest of the kids.
