How can a poor educated 20 year old get into MIT? I have no

Study

This. What did you expect OP? A person will just notice your non-brainletness and invite you to MIT?

I assumed that,i just mean like, would i have to send them a letter? will my european grades be worth something? how can i prove my non brainletness to them?
how do universities decide on what students to accept? should i go to uni in my country , try to be exceptional here first?

>>8058653
Study. Pass relevant examinations with flying colours (i.e 100%). Apply.

That's it. Just because it is simple does not mean it is easy.

>>8058677
Why do you even want to be in MIT?

>>8058680

What would be relevant examinations?

I want to get to a good university where my qualities can be harnessed the most. i heard MIT is a good one. i also heard that getting to the best uni possible is really important.

What country do you live in.

If you live in England you would be better of applying to Cambridge although the entrance examinations/requirements are hard.

Holland

OP here,

should i get the neccesary skills by self-study?
or should i etrn to school and try an official route?
i would be significantly older by then, will it be too late? and if good uni's slect only a few students, will they not prefer the young ones?

It is never too late, in my opinion do self study and official route, it will only increase your chances.

>>8058713
If you can show that you are really good and passionate about the subject then they will normally offer you a place regardless of your age.

They will probably expect a bit more though, but not much.

Thanks :)

Will they care about my previous schools?
or will they only care about what my current state is? because i am too old for regular school in holland i need to attend a school especially for drop outs. but i am prepared to work hard and long, i just need to escape this place i am in right now.

OP here,

I have been active in programs for gifted students,
so ill probably be able to make it with hard work, and better circomstances.

Luck wont do the trick ;)
but thanks!

Gonna pin: poor eurofag here. Currently studying UG in Scotland and can afford to spend like <900$ monthly. Uni is not the most decent one (~100 in the world), but still I'm an A student while working 15h/week.

Are there any chances for me to do CS/SE master at any proper US uni, even though the 50k+/year fees are simply unaffordable for me? Where should I seek help?

Note I'm from EU country which still needs visas, so my credit rating is rather worth shit.

Lots of hard work and luck, or be a minority with good grades.

Many countries have societies for students who study abroad. Since your country is well known for travelling all over the world I would guess there is such a society.

There is one in my country and they have lot of practical information.
