Question

Answer 1

You can check the web pages of some of the elite universities and they mostly say that they expect you to take the hardest courses available and get A's.

If you are aiming for a tier 2 school, then it probably doesnt matter much, except if you are trying to get an academic merit scholarship.

Answer 2

Usually that's what happens, they give you more attention if you take the higher levels of subjects. But it could work in your favour if you took the lower levels of the subjects and passed. THen you could tell the uni acceptance people that you chose the lower level instead of the higher one for your own reasons. Loads of work in school can be a factor.
Usually, higher levels of subjects come with more work, so there will be more recognition for the higher subjects, but that doesn't mean you ignore the others. THey also have their loads of work.
