Not an MIT student yet (admissions decision is in a month+ :O, so take my advice with a grain of salt

I’m basically in the same sitch at you. My school does not even offer programming at all and I’m taking a virtual school class on the subject right now (doing well, but it’s really basic/easy)

If anything, MIT does offer basic programming class in IAP (the inter-semester break). That’s when I plan on taking an intro class in a useful language (C, C++, MATLAB) for use in UROPS. Personally, I will not do a UROP my 1st semester because I want to get used to the school environment, so this plan works perfectly for me (UROP 1nd semester hopefully).
