I don't have the data available on how many people applied to at least two top-tier schools with the intention of going to MIT if accepted, but perhaps someone else does. It strikes me that many people state other schools such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, CMU, etc. as their first choices, even if they apply to MIT as well.

Not untrue, and in no way would I suggest otherwise. I am talking mainly of engineering students. Obviously some will end up at CMU, Caltech, Berkeley, Stanford...and some even at Ivy Leagues. My point is that MIT could increase the number of both accepted [and likely incoming] students of a certain kind, and deliberately choose not to.
