@lockn - If Harvard accepts some people based on academic-type things alone, I don't think it would just be a 2400 on the SAT. They'd probably have to have done a lot of academic competitions or the like. But that's unrelated to MIT. I don't know how Harvard does its admissions, this is all speculation based on what you heard.
@Jashper - Yeah, I was mostly in the same boat. I had the 700s on the SAT, so I knew I was like most MIT applicants - I had the scores they wanted. I didn't have anything spectacular on a national level, though, and was certain I'd be rejected - and then I got a tube in the mail O.O (My dad's convinced that what set me apart was flying planes. Ironically enough, I had only been flying a year at that point, but had horseback ridden since I was a kid, done community service since late elementary school, done drama throughout high school... go figure.)
