Nickmcollins:
See the admissions blog by MITChris:

Pay close attention to the replies, where he responds to a question:

Guest:
Is there preferential treatment to students of faculty/staff? Since this is a rhetorical question, why is this any different from from admitting legacies?
Chris Peterson:
No, there isn’t. Trust me, every year there are unhappy faculty and staff calling the office.
We do admit children of faculty/staff, but we do so because they excellent students who are well-matched for MIT, the same criteria that all applicants must meet to be admitted.
