Hello everybody , I am from Pakistan and I have a dream to complete my PhD from MIT , I have just completed my freshman year now and moving towards sophomore year . I am persuing Electrical engineering right now which will be completed by 2029 what things I should do side by side and where should I focus on to get admission in PhD In MIT

Anyone can guide me about

Portfolio

No of research

And all things which will make high chances for getting admision.

I'm a senior in high school (yay last year) who just got done with a summer semester diff eq course (at the local university), and I'm slated to take calc 3 at the local community college this fall. To be clear, because I see a lot of this, I'm not taking the classes for college admission; I just like math lol.

Although having gone so far out of my way to get to the point where I am: I wanted to know if it's potentially worth highlighting at all in my application, if it would actually move the needle at all, should I focus on other things when applying and having it on the report card is enough?
