Colleges wil understand if your school doesn’t offer AP courses and you will not be penalized for that.

The Udacity courses are of little value for admissions. They may be viewed as showing interest, just like a free course would. Online MOOC’s are unlikely to be used for credit at your college. Very few colleges allow credit from them, only a couple of colleges are running pilot programs doing that. At least one college has disallowed it because of cheating.
