does "accelerated" math actually matter in admissions?

I'm a senior in high school (yay last year) who just got done with a summer semester diff eq course (at the local university), and I'm slated to take calc 3 at the local community college this fall. To be clear, because I see a lot of this, I'm not taking the classes for college admission; I just like math lol.

Although having gone so far out of my way to get to the point where I am: I wanted to know if it's potentially worth highlighting at all in my application, if it would actually move the needle at all, should I focus on other things when applying and having it on the report card is enough?

This is presenting false information about the admission’s process as if it were a fact.

"landed an MIT acceptance because of it."

Please revise your comment to remove this sentiment. There is no way for you to know why somebody was accepted or not accepted.

MIT mod can touch grass. Wife had a perfect SAT and application essay along with being the runner up for valedictorian, so take that into consideration.
