Being recruited will not "help" as much as you may believe. Unlike other schools, MIT does not recruit in the normal sense. If your academics are still sub-par, you will not be admitted.
Although we champion sports (formerly having the most varsity programs, before the cut this year due to financial concerns), we are an academic institution first and foremost. MIT also does not participate in affirmative action in the same manner as most other schools.
Sorry to burst your bubble. From experience, many teams at MIT are constituted heavily of walk-ons as opposed to recruits.
Still, I wish you the best of luck! Your credentials are quite good and you are as competitive as anyone else. If there's one thing I can recommend, it would be to try to raise your ACT if possible.
Good luck!
