Hello, I am really really interested in going to MIT for Aerospace Engineering. My volunteer/work/high school activities aren’t anything too special (at least compared to what I’ve seen people have on here). I come from a rural town, so there are no research projects, soup kitchens, blah blah blah that are anywhere close, and I haven’t done any oympiad kind of things in high school (cc was the first place i had ever heard of amc12 or whatever). i am well off in terms of grades and standardized tests, so my question is, would the fact that i am earning my private pilot’s license right now add much to my chances? i took an aviation ground school course at a community college last year, and i am getting my license now, so would they like seeing that on the app?

thanks, matt
