Please let me know if this is good and what are my odds of getting into MIT. Please tel me what should I do to SUBSTANTIALLY increase my chances.
I can get very effective LORs since I am one of the most active students of my batch at school.
I might also get a recommendation letter from my summer research instructor at an ivy league college. Will it help?
Which school in India, What is the track record of this school in getting students into MIT? What are your scores? Can you afford to be full pay or do you need financial aid?
@VeryLuckyParent, an applicant’s chances of getting into MIT has nothing to do with their ability to pay for school. MIT is one of about 5 schools that are completely need blind.

Take a look at this page, written by an MIT admissions officer:
A high level guideline to start with for “chances” is to look at the overall MIT acceptance rate (7.8% for 2016). Beyond that, no one can tell you.
