<p>Before I moved to Massachusetts 10 years ago, my grandfather said I would go to MIT. I always just kind of blew that off, thinking I was never good enough. Now that the time has come for college application, I have started to wonder if I should go for it and just apply. Is there any chance of my acceptance?</p>

<p>I also travel overseas quite frequently, if that would affect my chances at all. My family owns an apartment in Venice, Italy that we rent out while we are away so we go there at least once a year. I have also traveled to England, Scotland, and Wales multiple times, as well as Poland, where I have family.</p>
<p>**Another question...is it okay to apply EA at MIT and ED elsewhere?</p>
