how common is getting flagged by apple?

I’ve wanted to switch to an android for years but haven’t because of imessage. Has anyone used open bubbles for a long period of time with no issues? and how could I avoid getting flagged/banned from imessage?

Senior release on top of 2 other easy classes hurting chances?

Im a rising a senior and planning on majoring in bio/premed. Basically I only have 5 APs lined up for my senior year right now (AP art hist, AP env sci, Calc BC, Ap Micro, AP cyber sec) since I tested out of AP Lit this summer. My current schedule now has 2 easy classes (DECA leadership period and teacher aide) and a release. I was wondering if this would signal a lack of course rigor to AOs? I'm auto admit (9/394), have gotten a 5 on ap bio, 4 on chem, and 5 on everything else (total 12 AP's and 2 AP weighted before senior year), 1460 sat (730/730), and have pursued the highest level of chem and bio our school offers (beyond AP).

Basically I'm kind of a chud and don't feel like taking physics since I really don't have any other AP's left to take. At this point I feel like it wouldn't add that much to my application and would just add a lot of stress senior year. I'm also really stressing about essays rn and want more time to work on them. If this signals a huge lack of effort i'll thug it out and take it, but only if not taking it would significantly hurt my chances.

1460 -> 1500+ sat worth working for

Basically the title, I have a 1460 SAT and I don’t know if spending a ton of time grinding to confirm getting a 1500+ is worth it. I want to major in biology and I have auto admit (9/400). I’ve also gotten a 5 on AP bio, 4 on chem (not great ik), taken highest level of biology and chemistry that my school offers (they go beyond just AP), have conducted psych research, state qualed for hosa/deca, internship under dallas health and human services, created a prototype for a cost effective wound treatment, and will have taken 18 APs by the end of hs (12 so far). I have other less relevant stuff too but it would be rlly annoying to list all of them lmao. Obviously a higher SAT would help but by how much? I’m still studying and planning on taking it again but I’m unsure if I should delegate a significant amount of time towards preparing (I currently spend 30-60 minutes doing practice questions everyday and occasionally do a practice test every week or two). My days this summer are already pretty full and if I spent more time it would probably mean spending less time on my hobbies that I actually enjoy and time with my friends.
