AI Thread Summary
To gain admission to MIT as an international student aspiring to become an aeronautical engineer, it's essential to understand the application process and requirements. MIT's admissions information is available on their website, which outlines the necessary steps. As a private university, MIT does not differentiate tuition based on state residency; however, out-of-country applicants face increased competition, as the acceptance rate is notably low, with over 90% of applicants being rejected. Strong academic performance, including high grades and competitive SAT or ACT scores, is crucial, but applicants must also demonstrate unique qualities or experiences that set them apart in a highly competitive pool. Ultimately, applying is the first step, and prospective students should ensure they meet all academic and application criteria.

I am a high school indian student. Its my dream to become an aeronautical engineer from the esteemed institution MIT. What are the general procedures and requirements for me to get into it?

Have you tried searching their website, under the section "Admissions"?
 
I can't speak for MIT as I'm from Purdue, but as I understand it the process is basically the same as it would be for a person from this country. Universities typically divide tuition fees into two categories, in-state and out-of-state. You would fall into the later category, simple enough. As for being from outside the country you are more likely than others to get accepted to the school as they are always striving for a diverse student body. Simply put, you should just apply and see what they say. If you have really good grades and SAT or ACT scores you should be fine, despite the fact that MIT is a very competitive school.
 
MIT is a university, not an organization. You don't 'join' it. You apply to it like any other schools. Admissions information is on their website.

MIT is a private university. They don't care what state or country you live in; tuition is the same. Applying from out of the country lowers your odds of admission. Everyone applying has the highest grades in the hardest classes and very high test scores; they turn down more than 90% of these applicants. You need a lot more than that.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
