Yeah, I’d recommend following the blogs at [MIT Admissions](http://www.mitadmissions.org/). I didn’t follow them profusely, but they gave me a good idea of the culture/attitude of environment at MIT. That’s always good for essays, and essays are oh-so-important. :)

You can also look at the countless chance threads on CC. They will definitely give you an idea of what people have done and what people are doing.

You didn’t provide a full picture of your credentials (I hope!), so we can’t really provide you with full-blown advice. If you’re going to a private school, I’d definitely recommend joining more ECs that interest you.
