Oh that makes me feel a lot better. Sorry, more questions:
What should I do if I'm not in any clubs (not even math team) and have few math awards?
Will I have worse chances if my ECs aren't very math related?
How good do USAMO/AIME/AMC awards look and what do I need to do to get them?
Can I put online animation awards on app?

Doesn't matter if you get into MIT if you can't enjoy your life while you have it.

You were asking about ECs that are math/science oriented...
I would recommend that you join your school's FIRST robotics team. This may sound random, but actually there is an animation competition that all FRC teams do, so you could easily go into that, and maybe even win an award for it.

Look at the decisions threads from the last two years (stickied at the top of this forum). A variety of people apply to MIT every year -- some have lots of math/science ECs and awards, and others don't. Some do math competitions, others don't. People of all types get into MIT.

For myself, I didn't do any science-related ECs in high school -- I was in band, show choir, and theater. I wrote about those ECs in my application, and even in my essays. MIT wants you to do things in high school that you're passionate about, and they don't want you to do things merely for the sake of getting into MIT.

If you get deferred, you should get in regular action. I'd be very surprised if you didn't

I think the biggest reason you might not get in is because you don't have a life. Yes, I am serious. Those are amazing stats.

I'm not going to say you're lying, but there hasn't been an AIME 15 from California in any of the past four years. Was that a typo or did you move?

These aren't the OP's actual stats -- the OP is asking what his chances for MIT would be if he could obtain these stats.
