No, colleges just look to make sure that you took the hardest classes available at your school. However, this means that they will put A LOT more weight on your SAT I and SAT II scores since your GPA (lets say is 4.0) can't be compared with someone with a 4.0 that took 10 AP classes since he/she clearly had to endure harder classes.
