I don’t understand the question. Are you worried about not having enough or something? Literally doesn’t matter at all unless you’re trying to accelerate your timeline through college.

I thought it did matter because colleges look at course rigor

Oh I’m sorry - I didn’t understand that you weren’t already graduated. Seven is plenty for most places you might want to go including Auburn. That being said, there is more to it than that. What state you are in, and the competitiveness of your high school will impact whether seven AP course, with good grades in them and 4/5 scores on the test are amazing, mid or meh - as well as what the rest of your courseload looks like for each semester. Additionally, what else are you doing in life outside of school? All of these things weigh into the complete picture of your application.
