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?

I'm losing the people around me :(

it's not a product of differing views, or everyone getting too busy, it's that people aren't the same anymore. I first noticed it with my dad who's quite ai forward. I've watched his thinking become less and less critical fairly quickly. He's always been smart, he still is, but he's discernably less sharp (and I don't think that age or stress are the primary causes here). I've watched the same thing happen with my peers. The ones using ai are like, stagnant. The difference between them, and my friends who refuse to use it is really quite large when the conversations aren't even about ai. This thing feels like a plaque, I'd love to ignore it, and perhaps that'd be possible if it was just online, but I can feel it in my day to day life.

As a kid I was very poor at understanding small ques, but I did notice them to an unnatural degree. Frankly it's still the case, though I've got most of them down. So maybe that's why I'm particularly sensitive to this, or maybe it's all in my head. Either way I'm sad

financial aid for a highschooler student enrolled in colleges

I take, and have taken a few dual credit classes at local universities. Meaning as an enrolled high school student, I am also partially enrolled in said universities (one is a community college, the other is not) so that I can take classes with them. Technically the fee for doing such is "low" (as in it's a few 100 dollars). But it still substantial to me, and I was curious if there were financial aid/scholarship options that applied dual enrollment in this manner. I couldn't find anything on the matter, meaning my question is either incredibly niche, or incredibly stupid. Please let me know

why is nobody talking about this part of Obsession?

there are at least two scenes where Nikki appears to see something and becomes terrified, saying something along the lines "it's coming". It's pretty shocking, as one time she stabs herself in the face in response. But I couldn't find a single discussion or mention of it. So what do you guys think she saw?

EDIT: I found a clip on line, it sounds more like she's saying "it's not me" (they captioned it answer me in the video). I think I just misheard this scene

A year ago I got a 2 on the computer science a AP test (no clue what I was doing that day, I knew javascript well before taking the class and ended with an A). However when applying I'm almost certainly going to be submitting a computer science project, and I'm considering retaking the test - less so for the credit and more so because the score bothers me - although tests obviously happen after applications and admission. Is there a way to show this score was a fluke to score at least a little grace in applying?

I understand that chances are always low, and there aren't academic boxes that I can tick or fail to tick; but I'm also not denying the fact this low score reflects rather poorly on me and I'd like to be well informed before applying

Despite being a junior in high school I have decided very little of what I want to major in. I've really only come to the conclusion that I'd like to double major in a liberal arts and stem field respectively. So does anyone have a picture on as to how double majoring in this manner would look? Additionally - would it reflect poorly on my application that I am not entirely sure as to what I would like to study in college?
