MIT considers each student in the context of his or her environment and the opportunities that have been made available to him or her. Your school background will not hurt you.

Often your high school counselor will send a profile of the school (which APs offered, etc) when he/she sends your counselor recommendation. If this is not something your counselor plans to do, you may explain this in the section on the application that asks if there’s anything else you’d like to tell MIT.
