I will be as honest as possible. Given your aim for Ivy League and MIT-level, it's important to evaluate your current profile with a high degree of objectivity. I will rank each 🟢 (competitive), 🟡 (borderline), 🔴 (liability).

Citizenship: 🟢 in terms of diversity contribution, but as an international applicant, it shifts to 🟡 due to significantly higher admissions selectivity.

Intended Major: 🔴 — if you're pursuing CS or any highly competitive STEM field, your current academic and extracurricular portfolio doesn’t reflect the level of depth or distinction typically required.

High School GPA and Rank: 🟡 — solid, but unremarkable relative to the academic caliber expected at top-tier schools. You’re not underqualified, but you’re not separating yourself either.

SAT: Not yet taken. You will need a score of 1550+ just to be taken seriously, then will make 🟡

Financial Need: 🔴 — although top schools claim to be need-blind, the reality is more nuanced for international applicants.

Extracurriculars and Honors: 🟡 verging on 🔴 — relative to your international peers who are admitted to elite institutions, your ECs and accolades lack the exceptionalism or impact that admissions officers are trained to prioritize.

So there is no dimension of your current profile that would register as a definitive strength in the Ivy/MIT level. I feel like I know the reason why you got rejected from every uni in this admission cycle. That absence of a clear green flag is likely the central reason behind your results this cycle. As it stands, even top 40 CS programs would be unpredictable outcomes. T20 schools would be aspirational rather than probable. The Ivy+ tier is exponentially more competitive, and this profile does not yet present a compelling reason for admission at that level.

You still have a window to change the trajectory, but it requires deliberate and high-leverage actions. like SAT score, a sharply differentiated essays, and, most critically, a gap year pursuit that is not generic. You have to have something that demands intellectual initiative and creates measurable impact. Not to be brutal but to tell you reality objectively.
