Hi Shiny,
To begin with, take your SAT or ACT and build your profile so that you match the standards of applicants applying and enrolled in Harvard. You must also have very high academic standing and good extracurriculars. They look for students who are all-rounders. Harvard offers limited scholarships to outstanding candidates. You will be considered for a scholarship once you have been enrolled and to get enrolled, you must be brilliant enough. Full financial aid is very difficult but Harvard works on two principles which are -
- Aid is based entirely on need, not merit.
- Admission to Harvard is need-blind, meaning your financial nee

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 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.
