Probably a minor detail but will still be a positive to your work ethic and determination. It just depends how you spin it in your stories - I don’t focus on too much but you could always briefly mention it subtly (I.e, duke 25 things essay, or when sharing a bit of your background) - more importantly I think schools will appreciate your accounting background as a strong indicator of quant skillset but be wary that it also puts you in a the traditional applicant bucket as someone that comes from business and even more so a traditional big-4 firm. Do your best and make sure your story and stats stand out and you’ll crush the cycle!
Minor detail.
You might use an optional essay to explain why.
Did you start with a bunch of credits from AP courses? Or did you overload on credits to power through?
Completing undergrad in 3 years might also explain a lack of involvement in extracurriculars.
Or perhaps you accelerated your timeline because you were expected to start earning money to support your family and saved a lot on tuition by finishing early.
