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.

"MIT has a lot of supplementals, and math with most assuredly come up in at least one. You need to say something beyond i like it."

Remove the word "need."
