Hello!

For getting admission into any undergraduate courses in top universities like Carneige Melon University and MIT, you will have to give standardized common admission tests, i.e SAT(Scholastic Aptitude Test) or ACT alongwith english proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL.

The scores you get in SAT/ACT help you in applying to universities in countries like USA, UK, Canada and Australia. The scores in TOEFL/IELTS are very important to prove that you can tolerate english as a medium of instruction, given that english is not your first language. Using your SAT/ACT and IELTS/TOEFL scores, you can apply to about 20 universities using the common application form by preparing a statement of purpose(SOP), portfolio(academic details,etc.) and otger important information. Your SAT scores can ensure you a scholarship if it is above 1300. You can apply for scholarship through FAFSA form. You also have to apply for a student VISA before you start your application process.

MIT is a top notch university, so there maybe a additional interview which is really tough. They do not accept SAT scores under 1550. And they also expect you to have hold international awards in olympiads or expostions if you want to take engineering courses.
