Passion and MIT?

<p>Will my passion to help those with autism and eventually be part of the cure for this disorder help my admission chances to MIT? I have a brother who is autistic and I have been doing research under a neurologist and have been part of a reading and writing workshop for autistic children for the las three years, and I hope to continue research at the university level.
I have the academics: Valedictorian, 97+ GPA, Many AP’s, good awards, etc., but will this passion be the factor that will help me get in?</p>

<p>YOu have the PASSION DEDICATION, and the grades/rigorus course selection/test scores to get you in. dont worry.</p>
