I don't think the answer is simple. It depends. Many selective schools look for an overall profile of an applicant and not just the academic part. With your achievements and course works, the academic part of your application seems pretty strong, looking in the fact that you have taken one of the most challenging curriculum for school, and your extracurriculars related to academics seem pretty strong as well. Having a better overall profile which includes, community service, volunteering hours, sports and good essays are also very vital. So, it can be said that your achievements can boost your application if the university focuses on applicants academics only.
