I am an Indian and am figuring out how to get into MIT or Harvard ( with financial aid ) for Bachelor’s in C.S
In short - What achievements do accepted students have ?
In Long - What should one do { research , internship at tech company , Olympiads , Perfect SAT scores or Good percentage ( In won’t say GPA as Percentages are given In Indian CBSE Board ) or What { what should one do to get selected }
You can answer Anything as I am just starting I have a lot of time left .
@ Please tell a detailed answer if you have time . 
MIT and Harvard are two of the most competitive schools in the US to enter. Every year they turn down students with perfect GPAs, test scores, published research, international awards, etc… For international students it is even more difficult and you have to be one of the top students in your entire country to have a shot.
I know many amazing students with unbelievable accomplishments who were rejected there, but still went on to have great careers in their fields. MIT and Harvard are not the be it and end all. Please cast a much wider net than just the uber competitive schools! You can get a great CS education at hundreds of schools.
I do know one student who is graduating from MIT this year. By age 8, he was taking apart computers, rebuilding, modifying, and improving. Taught himself to code very early in multiple languages. By middle school he was taking college level math and CS courses at his community college.
Harvard enrolled about 5 students from India last year. Ask one of them. Becoming a well known Bollywood star would be helpful.
