Hi,
For UG admissions in USA you must take the SAT or ACT and also IELTS or TOEFL. Taking the tests won't guarantee admissions though, you must have a very good all rounded profile which includes significant extracurriculars.

Hi Mohammad,
Talking about Stanford, gaining admission seems to be a miracle let alone scholarship. Why don't you share your profile for a better analysis? If you are brilliant enough you will surely get through. These universities are very competitive and scholarships are limited. You need to prove your mettle to be considered for financial aid and also admissions.

Hi Shyam,
To get into a good management school in the US, it is advised to have at-least 2-3 years of work experience then take your GMAT test to pursue your management course from the US. Many schools in the US are now accepting GRE test scores as well.

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.

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

Hello Sakshi,
Specialization is the course in which you wish to study Masters. Computer science is the subject and you have lot of specializations under that. You need to visit the university website and look for the options. Go through the topics in depth and then fill the form.
All the best.

Evaluate your own profile and check if the program, you are looking for really needs a subject test. If you have a stellar academic profile you may very well consider submitting your application without a subject test.
However, it is advisable, you should submit your SAT subject tests as well as Stanford is judged as the world's most selective university.
I hope it helps.
