<p>Well MIT is way more possible than HYPS so you may be in luck. </p>
<p>This is because in general far fewer prep school kids want MIT. Once they’ve been exposed to a great liberal arts education, the tech schools are less desireable. Also, most preps are too social to want the MIT experience! And they want the social/career network the ivies offer. So usually, only the class nerds apply.</p>
<p>Also, MIT doesn’t count legacy and athletes are a way smaller deal there.</p>
