MF PE recruiting - question about background

So I’m interviewing at NYC MF that strictly recruits H/RS/GSB-HFII. I was a Harvard undergraduate (valedictorian) and Rhodes Scholar but I was only an Arjay Miller Scholar (top 5% of graduating class) and graduated second in my class, narrowly missing out on the Henry Ford II Scholar. My question is, should I just end it all?
