Entry to MIT and getting scholarship.

In summary, the conversation revolves around a student from India who wishes to study at MIT and is seeking advice on how to obtain a scholarship. The individual mentions being a 12th passed student from the CBSE board and having economic constraints. The conversation also mentions that MIT only offers financial aid based on financial need and not merit or athletic scholarships. The website of MIT and EducationUSA are suggested as resources for information on studying in the USA.

To get into MIT, you should apply to MIT. The application window's going to be open within a few months.

There is a wealth of information on this subject on MIT's website and EducationUSA (not specific to MIT, but general information about studying in the USA). Most people who apply have actually read through this and looked for their information on their own. Why don't you? It's not very hard to find. Sure, it takes a lot of time and it's annoying but it's something you do for yourself.

Heads up: if you can get into MIT, then you can afford it. They offer financial aid based on your family's income.
