Hi, I am German and I tried to get into MIT too, because I spend a year in the US. I had my senior year there, so I just thought about applying to MIT. It is very hard, because u have to do the SAT's and stuff, so you have to be the best in the shortest time. A us High School can be way harder then a German one. For example the AP-Courses, which are like the German "Leistungskurse". In order to get into MIT you have to have many of them (or top-of-the-line grades in your classes). Just check out the MIT-page at mit.edu. You'll get all the information u need. You can get scholarships, nut they are rare. If you are looking for a good school and if you don't want to spend so much money, try TU-München.

Yes it is possible but it is not easy. MIT wants to have a diverse student body. However about 3000 international students apply each year, but only about 100 are accepted. International students are eligible for financial aid. You will have to do well on the TOEFL, and they prefer that students take four years of English in high school. See link below for more information. Consider applying to more than one college in the USA that is known for science and engineering. There are some that are excellent schools but not quite as selective as MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Cornell et al. You may have a better chance of admission at schools such as Georgia Tech, Purdue, Carnegie-Mellon and Rose-Hulman. Check their web sites to be sure they admit international students and offer financial aid.
