How to get into MIT for master's in engineering?

<p>I am a sophomore at Texas Tech University, and pursuing Mechanical Engineering. I have high aspirations of attending MIT for graduate school in MechE. </p>

<p>How can i prepare myself? </p>

<p>I suppose high GPA (3.5+ in engineering) and strong GRE (near perfect on the Quantitative) scores play a critical role. What else can i do to become a strong candidate?</p>

<p>Thanks, in advance!</p>
