I didn't know that MIT was THAT selective...

It's honestly hard to tell. Our school is definitely NOT the best school in Pennsylvania (not by a long shot), and even though our class was pretty high-achieving, I don't think I would go so far as to say we were the best class in school history. And yet, we had one person accepted to MIT because she did really well in academics and was also a really good swimmer. It's impossible to tell exactly what MIT wants at any given time. I don't think it's necessarily an indictment on your school that nobody was accepted. Perhaps you're not as head-and-shoulders above everyone else as it seemed, but I wouldn't take it personally.

Also, if there's one thing about MIT, is that they don't give a pigeon about perfect SAT/ACT, or very high GPAs. As long as you're above a certain level, you're considered, but it's not going to get you in. There's so many other things that are higher priorities to them.

What things are higher priorities to them?

Yeah I noticed yesterday that one of the admins was messing with the font and all (much prefer the wikipedia skin to the post-update skin though, but Kindofblue is still my favorite). Unfortunately I have to get used to where all of the buttons are all over again
