crazed, 2 kids from my S’s class got into Harvard with similar stats (val/sal, SATs all in 700s–but not best SATs in the class) but less rigorous course load. Neither of them cured cancer or played like Yo Yo Ma. I think you are exactly right. These kids got in partially because they were from Maine. Your S didn’t partly because he was a Jewish kid from Long Island.
