The development plan needs to be built on the basis of the requirements of the university, which we will describe below in the article.

Path 1
Studying in a school in the USA and getting a secondary education in America gives you more chances to enter prestigious universities such as MIT.

The list of compulsory subjects includes: physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, a second foreign language, English, history and other social sciences. Knowing this, you can pay more attention to studying these subjects in high school.
Additional online courses also play an important role in deciding on your enrollment. MIT recommends the following resources for online courses: edX, Khan Academy, OpenCourseWare, and others.
MIT will look at 3 important student characteristics
Interests - Interests
Aptitudes - abilities
Education - Education
For MIT, the student’s motivation plays an important role in admission, and also your vision of how you want to use university education in professional development. What you should not do to enter the MIT is to set as its goal only education at this university. Your goal should be bigger, wider, higher and grander. After all, the university is looking for those students who set themselves the most ambitious goals for the future, for their careers. After all, this is what will be able to glorify an educational institution.
In simple words, your goal should be, first of all, self-development, the formation of an environment around you and a positive impact on the world - but not entering MIT.
When to apply for admission
MIT has two selection stages that you need to focus on: Early Decision - the deadline for submitting documents - November 1, and Regular Decision - the deadline for submitting documents - January 1 of the opening year.
We recommend applying for Early Decision, as these students are more likely to enroll in MIT. At the same time, in this opening period there is more competition. This means that competition will be high.
Admission rate - percentage of receipt or competition
Only 10% of the total number of applications at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are successful. This means that you must be prepared for what you may not do. After all, the goal of the university is not to select individuals, but to form a class (or group) that will work together to achieve a common goal and will most of all meet the high requirements of the university.
