I just want to know what does it take to get a scholarship to the MIT
I read the the scholarship topic but I am specifically asking about MIT

MIT doesn't do merit-based scholarships -- only need based. There are some outside organizations (such as the Gates scholarship), but those are EXTREMELY difficult to obtain.

Good luck.
