I didn't do much to get in, I wrote my essay in thirty minutes and didn't give it a second look. No interview required, which could be good or bad, depending on what type of person you are. Test scores mean a lot to the reviewers (in my opinion, due to the lack of interview and single essay)
My recommendations: take the hardest possible classes in high school, do well in them, and do well on your standardized tests (and if you don't take them again)

There really isn't much to getting. You must have good grades, good scores and be active in your communitity and in your school. They only ask for a personal statement, and everything else is almost like a formula.

If you're a girl Tech will take you, enough said. Guys do well in school and set your expectations low so that when you get here you won't be to depressed to go on living.

I just suggest that you get involved in high school and show that you are a diverse human being
Aerospace Engineering
Be a well rounded person. Have leadership roles.

ok, for any university, here's the 99.9% all-the-time of getting in.
in order of the admission's grading...
1. GPA = 4.0
take all of the hardest and highest hs courses
2. Standarized Tests
SAT/ACT = 1500+/32+
AP = as many as you can.
SAT II = MATH IIC/Writing/major= 750+
IB = if you have 'em, awesome! if you don't, oh well.
3. Extracurricular Activities
Rule 1: Think BIG -- national level or gigantic proportions.
example: Key Club: normal folks just get hs elected and do community-only activities. abnormal folks get elected regionally/nationally and then appear on CNN for doing something super-cool for a disadvantaged class.
example: Mathematics: normal folks get A's and small awards within their town. above average folks do well on AP's and state awards. beyond belief folks finish calculus I 10th grade; earn a deluge of national awards; then do a junior summer internship at NASA, NSA, or a local/state college.
4. Leadership/Awards
same as #3. think big. anything you put on that college application should "National something"
Note 1: Who's Who among American HS students === this is a joke. don't sign up. don't put it on your resume. you'll get points penalized!
5. Recommendations
Get the best AND most unique ones. the teacher that wrote the recommendation for the MIT kid? get hers. does your boss work for a law firm or engineering center? get his. they count. trust me.
6. essay.
Choose your writing style...
Shakespeare; Dickens; Hugo; etc.
.. and write an essay like they would, except better.
you have approximately 3.5 years to do all this stuff. time's a wasting.

I hate the boy scouts. Just personal experience. But if you get to Eagle you'll have Tech foaming at the mouth for you. Personally I think it's overrated but Tech will more than likely accept you and maybe even offer a scholarship.

I applied early and did programs like Connect With Tech to show that I was interested in the school.
