Hi Shivam,
If you don't hold a LLB degree, then do it. At least 2 years of teaching or practicing experience is preferred. If you are an outstanding and brilliant student, then probably work experience will be relaxed. The maximum students admitted have superior work experience as teachers or lawyers. Harvard will also take into consideration your academic grades, ranking, letters of recommendation, occupational interests, professional and personal accomplishments and many more.

Hi,
If you are particularly aiming for IVY League, then you have to be damn good in your academics and ECs. To get admission in US universities, you have to take either SAT or ACT. Both these tests are for undergraduate courses.
As an Indian student, I would suggest you to register for SAT exam as it is favorable for Indian students and due to large number of test takers. You need to understand the structure of the exam. It just measures your basic mathematics and strong language basics.
For Indians the mathematics section seems to be pretty easy, but as English is not our first language, the language section creates a bit complication.

Hi,
You must hold a Master's degree, take the GRE and submit a writing sample. Get in touch with one of the department faculty, it important that they know you first before you submit the formal application. Details can be found on the department website:

Hi Shivam,
There are limited scholarships available for bright students, both in terms of academics and extra-curricular and who can demonstrate financial need. They will also evaluate on family income, etc. before granting you an aid.

First, you have to register and take admission tests like SAT, ACT TOEFL or IELTS and you have to do really well in these tests, if you are particularly aiming for IVY Leagues.
You have to check the university's website, if they require SAT subject test. You can collect your class 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades and SOPs and LORs. The university will also look at your achievements and extra-curricular and finally you can apply to universities of your choice.

Hi Suraj, if a student receives 100% scholarship which is rare for international students, it clearly means his tuition fee is waived off. You must however bear the living expenses. The exact structure cannot be mentioned here as fee structures are subject to change. Please check the website.

Admission in Harvard depends on your drive and passion for certain things. While CGPA, work experience, and GRE score matters, they would be also interested in knowing more about your research skills and goals for future. So choose your course first, see their basic requirements and then apply.
All the best.

It is hard to say especially for business schools like Stanford or Harvard which are two of the world's most selective universities. Evaluations are done holistically and you must build your profile to fit into these schools. A poor performance in UG will not bar you from getting admitted into these schools if you have the right attitude. Yes, you must work very hard to outshine, a brilliant performance in your PG will not guarantee an admission, you will also require a quality work experience and demonstrate high-level leadership skills which again will not guarantee an admission unless you know why so badly you want to get into these
