Do APs in senior year matter?

I'm a current Junior but I haven't taken any APs, even though my school offers over 20. The APs my school offers Freshman-Junior year just didn't interest me (since they were only science or history), but next year I am taking 4 (AP Calc, AP Gov/Econ, APES, AP Lit). I've taken 6 honors classes throughout high school and am doing two classes at my community college related to my major (urban studies).

I'm just worried that my academics are lacking especially compared to my peers. Would a lack of AP classes hurt my chances a lot, especially at the UCs?
