<p>You should get other safety schools on the list in case. MIT is obviously extremely competitive and due to this, there will be kids with outstanding grades, GRE scores, research work, LORs, etc applying there, so you never know if you will get in or not. There are plenty of other great schools out there, and what matters the most is your specific interest in Aerospace that you want to focus in. There may be other great universities for what you actually want to go into that aren’t MIT but are actually possible to get into.</p>
