There's a difference between "yet more" and "the most impressive"....
As far as I know, MIT has always been good about admitting people who have done things that, by definition, not a lot of people can do (such as place highly in a competition).
But, would a bassoonist or energy-studies focused person be better for the institution than compsci major #201? Probably.
