MIT does not use the common application. In past years, its application has 2 essay prompts (for the main essay); the questions have not changed for quite a couple of years so i imagine it will be the same this year too. For last year it was:

* Essay (around 500 words): Choose essay A or B. Essay A: Tell us about an experience which, at the time, really felt like the "end of the world" -- but had it not happened, you would not be who you are today. Describe the process through which you discovered value in the negative. Essay B: Describe the world you come from, for example your family, clubs, school, community, city or town. How has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations?

If you want to write a "Why MIT" essay, you can just submit it as a supplementary essay.
