Do you think that I am MIT material?

You've got a decent shot, but so does everyone else applying, and they take less than 10% - turning down hundreds of 4.0 students, perfect SAT scorers, and valedictorians. You'll be competing against kids who won major science competitions, have patents for inventions, and did original scientific research. Your resume is impressive for your school, but pretty average for MIT. You need to find some way to stand out - and you need to take AP Calculus BC your senior year. Don't drop math your last year when applying to a top technical university!
