Hi Vishal, Since Harvard is one of the top universities of the world, it is obvious that admissions are going to be very tough. So, you have to maintain a very good academic standing, be good in extracurricular activities like sports, community services, etc. Besides studies, take SAT or ACT and overall have a good profile. You will also need the TOEFL. You will be competing with the world's best applicants to get admitted. If you are good in coding you should start building projects so that you can demonstrate these skills in your application. Prepare from now onwards.

Hi,
To study at the Harvard Law School, one must appear for the ISAT examination held four times every year. Also, one has to apply to Harvard along with their ISAT score.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks

These are some of the most prestigious universities around since you are in the first year you have some time to build your profile, work hard towards excellent academics and extracurricular activities. Depending on what your subject is, you must build projects, publications, etc., around it. Tests like GRE, etc., must be taken. Excellent recommendation letters will give weightage. Scholarships are on merit, the stronger your profile, better are the chances. But note that full scholarship is rare.

Hello,
*First thing first, you need to be good in academics and test scores.
*In addition, if going for master-level degrees, having a bachelor's degree from IIT or top Delhi University colleges will count. For a great bachelors college, you can crack IIT or can be a top ranker in Board examinations.
For master's degree, having a selective job in a top firm will definitely help.
*You need to score high in IIT (or board topper or university gold medalist) and can have high scores in SAT (for bachelors), or GMAT and GRE (for masters).

You will in case have to do class 12. Either you choose ISC or let the coaching centre decide / suggest it for you. Because for almost all officer jobs 12th is the minimum requirement. You may opt to prepare for competition along with class 11&12 and in that case coaching centre is a good option. But choose the 12th board wisely so that you score good in 12th and become eligible for competing.

Hi Sandip, apart from having a very good academic record, you have to take the GRE and TOEFL and have a very strong all-rounded profile. These are some of the top ranked universities and very difficult to get into. There is no single way to get admission.

I have seen people being 35 and still cracking GMAT to get into Stanford GSB. And you are just 18. Look for your current career prospectives. Complete your graduation with a good percentage. Build your resume am enough to stand out and to note building resumes means not just anything but things such sun help you to stand in a clear apart and would help highlighting the same in your profile. Then try to analyse why are you willing to give GMAT. The ifs and buts to follow. And for MBA in Harvard alike you need to have a minimum work experience of about 5yrs+.
