Your challenge is going to be that it is most likely MIT will still ask for your parent’s income and assets.
Even with students in the US, age 24 makes you independent for federal aid only. It does not automatically make independent for institutional aid.
Many schools have policies in place that you have to be 27 (age of the average college graduate is 22) to be independent for institutional aid, showing 5 years of self-sufficiency. As stated upstream, you will be a non-traditional student.
MIT does not have a separate process for older students. Right now, you will have to submit the documentation required and they will determine if you are a dependent or independent student
