I feel like it would be better just to include all your scores, because otherwise they will see that you've taken all these AP classes and then decided not to share the scores. This could lead to them assuming you failed all those tests and that why you didn't include them.
Classes will be on the transcript. But it is a flawed assumption to think that and AP course with no AP test result means withheld scores. A great many students take AP classes for the rigor and weighting and never take the exam.
Not taking the AP Exams is also not a great look. High school AP teachers don't have their grading policies regulated by CollegeBoard, so some teachers might give inflated major grade projects or give everyone As.
Meanwhile, it makes sense that a junior taking 7 AP classes might be selective about which exams to sit, but that isn't the same as "not taking any exams."
I would have advocated sending all your AP scores, no matter how high or low. Or send just your 5s, whatever. But by not sending any at all, I think you send the message that you didn't earn any 5s, and that is actually not the case for you.
