Aptitude, recommendations, and what you’ve done out of the classroom are probably all very important. Many graduate programs, including MIT, H, etc., also really look into research experience, because for the most part that is what you do in graduate school when looking to get a PhD. Hopefully that will work out for you. I don’t know too much about the actual applications, but I’m sure you have to write essays, and so your authorship and writing skills well help you there. Just be honest and open about what you expect and desire from graduate school, but remember that not getting into these places is not the end of the world, either.
