^^^Me three!

It’s probably true that being asian won’t do you any good when it comes to applying to MIT. But that should not stop you from trying to realize your dream. I’d say don’t fret about not being one of those “average” asians; just try to work hard, become as well rounded a person as you can, and leave it to MIT (and other schools you eventually apply to) to decide. If it helps, I, for one, am an asian, but by no means one of those “average” asians; I did get admitted by Harvard and MIT, and am going to MIT this fall.
