Colleges don’t “send people to med school”. You earn a place by doing well in class, on the MCAT, taking part in health-related volunteer work, getting to know some profs for strong recs, etc. The same lower-division classes required to apply are taught at every college in the country. Neither MIT nor any other school has a magic sauce to “get people in”.
I know quite a bit about MIT. I know very little about biology although everyone else in my family knows a lot about biology.
MIT is not known as a place to get easy A’s. Medical school admissions depends quite a bit on GPA.
It is possible to get A’s at MIT. However, maintaining a high GPA for four full years is tough.
If you are smart enough and a strong enough student to get into MIT, but if you go to your in-state public school instead, then do not underestimate the academic difficulty of premed classes at your in-state public university. Premed classes can be very tough at any decent (top 100, probably top 200) university.
MIT’s graduate Biology department is ranked #1 by US News and World Report. So no issues about the quality of the program.
Factoring in the costs and the grade deflation, I don’t think it’s the greatest idea to do pre-med there. There is a reason that the school does pass/fail grades for freshmen.
With med schools’ focus on GPA, you are probably better off not going to a T50 school. MIT is one of the toughest schools to get grades at, so it is maybe the worst.
