^^You state you have or are completing 17 APs, yet you only received the AP Scholar award indicating you did okay or poorly on your AP exams while some of your classmates did very well with scores of 4 or 5 on all exams taken.

In my opinion you took too many APs that you couldn’t handle to boost your weighted GPA. Yes, SAT scores don’t factor in work ethic or determination, but one thing you failed to realize throughout your studies is how to do well on standardized tests (SAT/AP) and know your academic limits (don’t take 17 APs).
