Am I on track for MIT honors?

Just to clarify, MIT does not have an honors program, does not have valedictorians at graduation, gives only need-based scholarships (not academic nor athletic) and gives very little credit for legacies. These factors are all part of it’s unique character and environment. If you can gain admission on the merits, it’s fairly egalitarian after that. I’m sure someone from Admissions can correct me if my perceptions are inaccurate.
