You're a high school senior. How could you possibly know this? Previous MIT classes weren't creative according to who?
Excelling in class does not indicate a lack of creativity...And having a quirky, "interesting" personality doesn't indicate any abundance of creativity.
MIT never cared about the numbers just for numbers-sake. They looked for the student with the A+s because that student is the one that has such passion that they try to go above and beyond what is presented in class. But the thing is, if this person is doing this, then they are pretty likely to ace all of them and end up as valedictorian or salutatorian. Unless there is some serious family crisis, I wonder why someone would get less than an "A" in a high school math or science class.
And one more thing--I doubt anyone in the history of MIT ever prepped more than 5 minutes for the Math part of the SAT.
