Don’t worry, I know nothing about programming, either. I took an engineering course so I know a tiny tiny bit about BASIC, but that wasn’t even in my application and they took me anyway.

MIT is very good about judging you in your own context, so try not to compare specific things between you and other applicants.

If you have the grades to apply, then apply. But grades alone won’t get you in – passion and personality are deciding factors. Those are important indicators when evaluating potential.

So I’d apply – what do you have to lose? Just a couple hours and the application fee.
