I agree with the other posters. Even though I was a Siemens Semi-Finalist, I doubt that I would have been as competitive in MIT’s admissions if I hadn’t also pursued “more rounded” kinds of extracurriculars (founding a political club my senior year, for example). There are lots of Siemens people at MIT…but there are definitely more non-Siemens people. :D
