I applied as an international to MIT this year. Here is a message I got from the admission office:

International admission to MIT is very competitive. Out of more than 3,500 international applicants, we admit about 130. Almost all international students admitted to MIT have earned some form of regional, national or international distinction in areas as diverse as leadership, music, art, scientific research, academic competition, or athletics.



I am not sure that replacing the SAT with the TOEFL is a good idea unless you can demonstrate a very strong transcript and other activities.
