Folks,
Check this interview with Rod Garcia form MIT Adcom. This confirms MV23's information and provides more detail.

"That’s right. We score the applications. We don’t have a global rating. Instead, we score a set of attributes. There are about nine that we look at, ranging from GMAT score to GPA to work success to all the other attributes, like leadership attributes. Essentially there are two major groups of attributes – demonstrated success (GMAT, GPA, work success) and leadership attributes. We add up the sum of the two scores, and based on those two scores I will decide the 18 percent who will be invited for an interview."
In summary, MIT scores applicants on a set of 9 competencies, and this is used to define the two variables they use to invite candidates to interview. The interview probes further into these competencies, which are then re-evaluated for the final admissions decisions.
Other interviews with similar insight on the process can be found on in Internet.
Hope this helps.

This honestly doesn't surprise me at all, and it wouldn't surprise me either if many other schools took a similar approach. It helps to keep things objective, helps the reader understand the criteria, and also helps later down the line if someone decides not to attend, who to pick from the waitlist pile.
