<p>I'm taking a visit to MIT at the end of the month, is there anyone I can talk to about potential scholarships? Also, who can I talk to in order to increase my chance of admission.</p>
<p>I don’t think MIT gives merit scholarships, but they do give need-based aid- perhaps you could meet with someone in the financial aid office (the director of financial aid is Daniel Barkowitz). MIT doesn’t give on-campus interviews, and I don’t think they even track if you’ve visited campus- I’m pretty sure demonstrated interest doesn’t have much of an effect at a school like MIT, because everyone wants to go there. But definitely stay for an information session and tour, and introduce yourself to whoever gave the information session and your tour guide.</p>
