You know a lot of high school students with “massively right” unique insights into the world that no one has thought of before? Enough to make up a freshman class at a mid-sized school?

Just one guy/gal in his lifetime is what a college admission officer would hope for in his entire career.
That's all he need to cause a revolution in a field.
The problem is of course, how to find the genuine article in a pool full of candidates sprouting impressive grades and other distracting signals which are probably incidental or have nothing to do with massively right insights generators.
My guesses and your guesses is probably as good as the college admission officers. The chance of scoring a direct hit because the officer was able to correctly reasoned that this guy is what he's looking for is probably incredibly low.
