At colleges where “rigor” is important, they want to see the student choose the harder or more advanced options and do well in them. The harder or more advanced options may be AP, IB, college, or other types of courses, depending on the high school.

But also, do not assume that all AP courses are more important than all non-AP courses. Choosing AP environmental science, AP human geography, and AP statistics to the exclusion of physics, foreign language level 3+, or precalculus may not look good to some colleges.
