How do I get ready?!

<p>I know I am missing the big picture, but now what do? Although the odds are against me, as the MIT page says, “if you stay focused and don’t give up, goals are ultimately realized.” Knowing everything I…know has been proved wrong here, I THINK MIT wants not smart, but unique people, and I have TRIED to stand out as much as I can and show I am fit to be in MIT. But now I am as lost as a blind man. Help?</p>
