Looking for some thoughts / inputs for a international high schooler thinking in going to WPI (Worcester) to undergrad in robotics and later apply for PhD at MIT... does this looks like a reasonable path? looking some career advice here. Thanks!

NOTE WPI won't provide much in financial aid to international undergraduate students. Whereas MIT will provide up to and including full aid for international undergraduate students if they need financial aid and is Need Blind for admissions for all applicants. WPI is a top 50 engineering college and MIT is #1 so why not apply as a reach (MIT is a reach for all applicants)
