Massachusetts Institution of technology?
Though I'm only in 7th, I want to know how hard it is to get into Massachusetts Institute of technology because I am very interested in computer technology. My grades are 90-99 and I do 2 sports. I am curious to know how hard it is to get into MIT

At 7th grade, there's really no surefire way to predict how well you'll do in high school, and even when you get to high school it may be difficult to predict your chances of getting into MIT.
Here's what I'd suggest: Keep doing what you're doing; your grades are looking good. Keep doing sports so long as it doesn't interfere with your schoolwork. If you can, get involved in other extracurriculars, particularly those related to computer science, math, and robotics.

It's one of the most difficult colleges to get into for tech/math/science. Most of the students accepted score 750-800 on SAT sections. http://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/stats
They don't have a GPA minimum, but they say that competitive applicants have a 3.5+ overall and close to a 4.0 in math classes. http://mitadmissions.org/apply/transfer/before
All this info was readily available on their website.
Then, you have this website that makes it abundantly clear that the vast majority of students have a 4.0. http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs...
You'll want to start joining math/science/tech clubs and doing these activities, volunteering, and beefing up your resume. You have lots of time, but as you get further into high school, you'll want to start taking leadership positions and spearheading things.
Good Luck!!
