Does Duel Enrollment help you stand out?

I have done duel enrollment or PSEO at a t100 university for the last two years of my high school career. I applied to a ton of ivies and I was wondering how would they view this and would it help me stand out from all the other applicants? I have taken in total almost 10 duel enrollment classes.

I think having done that many dual enrollment classes you will really stand out to whatever school you apply to. I think given your stats you have a great chance of getting in. Of course, that depends on your ACT/SAT scores and your GPA but you still are doing great from what I can see.

Wow! 10 is a lot! Duel enrollment will definitely help your standing in a pool of applicants, especially with as many as you've done, however it's important to remember that universities (especially ivies) consider other factors as well. For that reason, it's very important to focus on both academics and activities. In fact, excelling in activity will often help you to stand out the most! Please reply if you want/need any more advice!
