Hi, Stanford has a very low acceptance rate and very selective. If you are aiming Stanford then you must be a highly brilliant kid with solid extracurriculars and skills which is keep you ahead of the many competitive applicants who will apply to Stanford. I will strongly advice you to go check the Stanford website and read the selection process, know what kind of students they prefer and build your profile. High academics, participation in sports, arts and culture, projects, Olympiads community services are some important aspects of the application. The more skills and academic strength you have better are the chances. As for the exam

Hi Jagdish,
Haven't you asked this question already? Anyways, you must take the SAT or ACT and TOEFL. Both SAT and TOEFL will be required. Instead of SAT, you can also take ACT. But check Stanford website for their preference, if any. You have to visit their website and also check the admission and selection process since Stanford is among the world's the toughest universities to get into you have to be realistic and practical and see if you will fit into it.

Hi Tanish,
There is no MBBS there, infact no university in US has an MBBS programme. If you want to study medicine you must first enroll into a Bachelor degree programme of four years in an US university preferably, take the MCAT and seek entry into a medical school. You have to take the SAT or ACT to be considered for admissions into a Bachelor course. And, for Harvard and Stanford, you have to an exceptionally bright student. Great academics and an all-rounder you have to be. Check their website and read about the admission process and preferences. Prepare likewise.

Hi Harshit,
All of these are world's topmost universities and students are expected to be very academic in nature. 75% is the minimum recommended. The more percentage you have, the better it is.

Hi Chinmay,
Planning is good but you must also see how practical it is. Without work experience, you are less likely to get into any good business school abroad. And if you don't have work experience, you must be something extraordinary so that universities including Stanford will choose you and not those who have a better experience and a stronger application than you. Stanford is also one of the world's most selective university, they admit very few students so prepare accordingly and apply. For more options, you can check here:

Hi Hateez Khan,
There is no straight answer to this question. If people knew how to study in Stanford every second person would have been admitted into the world's most selective university! It is good to be ambitious but you must also be practical and be ready to work extra hard. Excellent academics and an all-rounded profile is just a requirement. But you have to be beyond that. Read this to know what they seek in an application, if you can prepare accordingly:

Hi,
Requirements include excellent academic grades, extracurricular activities, significant work experience with demonstration of leadership skills, managerial skills, a very high GMAT score and so on. On the whole, these B-Schools will prefer an all-rounder. For more details, you should be checking their websites. Check the class profiles and build your profile accordingly.
