Yes, if you are able, you should. Even if you submit your application before the end of your senior year, the college will look at your senior course schedule. Furthermore, most colleges will require you to update your application immediately after receiving your AP results. Yes, taking AP courses in your senior year can still have an impact on your college admission. Also, your 1300 SAT score makes you in the 88th percentile. If you want to make yourself more competitive, you should definitely consider taking more AP courses.
I hope this helps, and good luck for your 12th grade.
If you are graduating March 2023, there is no reason to sign up for next cycle of APs which give the exam in May 2023 with results around July 2023. By then you will have already applied to colleges and learned all your results. No college would be getting this test data and using it to inform their decision. I would not do this. It's just a waste of time and effort and $$$ money. It's better to get a high mark in your AP and report that instead.

@CameronBameron Wouldn't it be helpful if the College accepts the AP course/exam for credit?
