When is the right time and what is the right way to apply for MIT (USA)? I am in class 10th currently.
When and how should I write SAT and ACT? What all extra activities should I do in class 10th? I am also pursuing the foundation of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and am interested in computer science (programming).

Hi Aditya,
This is an ideal time to prepare for MIT or any other top ranking university. You can take the SAT or ACT during 11th and reattempt if required. Note you don't have to take both SAT and ACT but just one of them. Incase you take SAT, SAT subject tests are also required. Now, to build your profile take part in sports, voluntary work, high level project work, seminars etc. If you are interested in computers try to design something. In short show your intellect and innovative skills. But don't limit yourself to academic activities since they need all-rounders.
Good luck.
