My only worry is that I dont have any research. Will MIT take into account the fact that there are few opportunities for research in mechanical engineering, especially for a high school student, when compared to other fields such as biology or chemistry?

I think you have an pretty good chance at MIT, but if it is definetely your first choice you should apply EA/ED to better your chance for admission.
