No awards no MIT?

<p>Hi my cc-fellows. I'm international student without any major awards like Intel, Siemens and so on, I haven't participated in IMO, IPhO, IBO and so on... Do I still have chances to get in?
What is the most important factor?</p>

<p>Thank you...</p>

<p>Being smart, AND doing something with it. You don’t necessarily need awards, but you have to show more than one dimension (study).</p>

<p>Okay, thank you</p>
