Advice: uhhh don't screw everything up like i did?

i was kind of hoping to get in...our school generally sends like 2-4 ppl to MIT, and i thought i was one of the most competitive in my class...but i guess our class totally sucks or something, considering that like everyone got rejected/deferred from stanford, mit, penn, etc.
