Will elite colleges look for AP/CC courses taken before 9th grade?

We have submitted her community college transcripts to her high school and will do that when she apply to colleges as well. I already have talked to some colleges’ adcoms and personally know quite a few students who got the freshman admission with even more units than dd’s.

What is likely to happen is that they will generally give 30 (private) or ~60 (in state public) units but will allow the rest courses to be used to meet prerequisites or general education requirements, allowing the students to focus on advanced courses or take another major during the 4 years. Some schools give junior status for class registration purpose even though the student is a freshman.
