Yeah I know, I just have a few questions on the technicals of college. I don't know all the rules and what you are supposed to do. For example, I didn't even know you had to take the SAT 6 months ago. I learned it because my friend told me about it. I am gonna go on my own path and make my own decisions, I just have a few questions on the kind of stuff that is mandatory.

good grades in high school are necessary for 'good' universities, but 'good universities' mean much less than people assume. good bachelor's degree grades help for getting into graduate school, but they're not everything.
the single most important thing with college (or grad school) is - and i wish i could stamp this directly onto your brain: "avoid student loans as much as you possibly can - debt is bad"
Ok, then MIT is a trash school with 100k in loans lol. Why do universities even cost so much, I don't get it. Ok, so that means, if I grad with a bachelors out of a good school, it would be taken with consideration? So like, if two people had the exact same stats in everything, but one of them graduated and got their bachelors from an average school, and the other one got the bachelors from a really "good" university/college, would the one who got it from a really good university/college be more likely to be chosen for a good university to get their masters?
Most universities are a scam- they get money, you get a "higher education". Plus, all the student loans- especially with a big school like that, would take forever to pay off, so they have you on a ball and chain even after college.
Nothing is mandatory.
Requirements are standardized.
None of it presents worries.
MIT accepts and welcomes any worthy applicant.

The top universities are able to charge high fees because graduates from these universities occupy a disproportionate number of the top jobs in a wide range of sectors. In part this is because they can pick from the very best. And yes you normally need a bachelors degree before anyone will take you for a master’s.

Is it true, that MIT will also take into account your financial standings? I've seen on the internet many memes about MIT accepting rich people. I don't trust the memes right now, after all, its the internet, but do they look at your financial status?
Sorry pal ... you think they are stealing? Not for you

I'll say this- there are a lot of people with a lot of advice about college. 90% of it is bullcrap. Find someone you trust, who graduated from college themself and is successful in their field (like your parents, perhaps), and ask them. That'll be better than asking random people on the internet. 
Few Institutions offer resources for the inquiring mind. Sometimes an independent course is the wiser.

Ok lol I'll try but I don't really know who to ask. My parents graduated from a university/college in india, and that was a long time ago. It was different.

Your teachers at school should be able to help you, as well as any friends you might have in your neighborhood who have a masters/doctorate.
