With this in mind, is it worth applying EA to MIT?

I think it’s always worth it to apply EA to MIT, unless you would rather apply to a school with a restrictive early option. First, it gets your application off your desk early, and gives you the possibility that you may be accepted in mid-December. Second, if you’re deferred (which most EA applicants are), you’ll have a chance to think about other things you might like to add to your application – you can send supplemental material through the month of January.

As long as you have the application ready by November 1, I don’t see any disadvantage of applying to MIT EA.
