Schools that do automatic things based on rank probably care but really good schools that review apps holistically will realize that the vast majority of schools don’t weight DE classes. Those hard classes with a 4.0 should make you more appealing to schools like MIT that want to be sure students can succeed there. MIT is still a lottery type school in any circumstance though. Our schools (and many others) don’t rank at all so it’s really just states that all the schools rank like Texas where you may be at a slight disadvantage.
