Hello! Please refer me to colleges I need to aim for with robotics engineering & programming courses. I’m ok with CS degrees but I truly want to go for robotics and I can’t find colleges aside from MIT.

Going to a Massachusetts top 15 boarding school for Gr 11 (22-23) BUT I came from a country w/o “credit courses” so I need to catch up

8 spread out extracorriculars (spent years on each) + 2 sports + straight A & honors

2 years of Covid stopped my robotics education, but I self-studied Python, C++, and Java

Applying for financial aid and I’m scared it’ll ruin my chances

Under represented POC

If someone is also interested in / is pursuing robotics, I would love input! Esp referrals for robotics start-ups, what you did to get accepted, etc. Covid literally stopped my passion (or else I would’ve spent 3 years learning robotics + club) and I’m nervous how I will stand out to competitive applicants. If possible, would love recommendations about self-learning robotics resources, but I cannot buy a robot myself.

I would love college recommendations! Although my goal is MIT, I know I need to catch up on ALOT in 2 years. My admission interviewer recommended BS post graduate and it’s expensive, but would it help? Thank you!
