And I'm pretty sure a certain kinds of people really would go to MIT over any other school if they got in. For instance, quite a few EECS majors I know.

Where else did they apply? It strikes me that even among candidates considering engineering studies, people who apply to MIT also apply to CMU, Stanford, Berkeley, and other top engineering schools. It's not clear that for these people, MIT is the clear #1 choice. Even here on CC, you hear about people who've turned down MIT when accepted to other schools.
