<p>There are many colleges in US that offer great CS programs. Stanford is just one among them. Stanford is one of those universities which admits, on an average, only 4-6 students from India. So the competition will be intense, very intense! To my personal knowledge, only those guys who won accolades in the real international Olympiads, international science fairs (Google Global Science Fair and ISEF) or who did exclusive research in science or engineering were admitted in the recent years.</p>

Yes! A BIG Yes! As an international student and also being an Indian applicant.</p>
