If I consolidated my student loans, would that raise my credit score?

I haven’t consolidated my loans yet b/c I have heard rumors that congress is going to help lower student interest rates, so I’m taking a gamble and hoping the rates will lower. I have 11 seperate student loan accounts. Would my credit score go up if I consolidated, since I would then have 1 instead of 11 accounts? Would it be better in regards to my credit score to leave them as is?
Current score is about 650.
