For international applicants, including Indian students, the annual tuition fee is around $$67,700 USD (₹51–52 lakhs),for the Data science bachelor and total annual cost (with living expenses) is around $85,000–90,000 USD (₹70–75 lakhs), as per Stanford’s official site but keep in mind Stanford University does not offer a standalone Bachelor’s in Data Science, but students can study it through the Computer Science major with a data science track.
When it comes t English proficiency, Stanford accepts TOEFL, not IELTS, for undergraduate admissions. A minimum TOEFL iBT score of 100 is expected for competitive applications. IELTS is generally accepted for graduate programs only. With 90% in both 10th and 12th, you have a strong academic record, but Stanford looks at more than marks — they want to see essays, extracurriculars, and personal growth.
The admission process includes: SAT or ACT scores (optional for 2025 intake), school transcripts, 3 short essays, recommendation letters (usually 2), and TOEFL scores. You must apply through the Common Application portal. The deadline is usually early January for regular decisions. Need-based financial aid is also available for international students.
So yes, you can apply with 90% marks and a good TOEFL score, but admissions are highly competitive. Make sure your overall profile like projects, activities, and essays, show depth and originality.
