<p>Getting in as an international student is more difficult because MIT can take less of them. (That said, are you a US citizen or permanent resident? I believe it might be possible to still apply as a US person while living in Mexico - but you’d have to check that yourself.) I will say that MIT considers context greatly in the Admissions process - they want to see that you’re the type of person who takes advantage of what opportunities are around you. They don’t demand that you have certain opportunities.</p>
<p>I will say that fixating on MIT as the only path to success is faulty. Don’t depend on getting into MIT - there are far more applicants Admissions wants than they can accept. Instead, focus on developing yourself and your skills, and hope for the best.</p>
