My 2017 also looked at MIT at Coach Carroll's request. Son had a 35 ACT and ok grades but nowhere near 4.0 but at a well known private rigorous school. He is liberal arts focused and NOT STEM. That was actually a boost too. We were told the coaching staff presents a list to Admissions. I remember hearing the year before they had 10 boys on the list and 6 got in. That was a 60% admissions rate which is significantly higher than the 5% for the general public. But of course 4 of those boys the year before, who applied EA, did not get in, so it is a risk.
