We believe that you should prepare for college by mastering certain subjects and skills. You should demonstrate your proficiency in the areas described below by taking Achievement² and Advanced Placement tests. In summary, we recommend: the study of English for four years: close and extensive reading of the classics of the world's literature; four years of a single foreign language; the study of history for at least two, and preferably three years: American History, European History, and one additional advanced history course; the study of mathematics for four years, including the particular topics described; the study of science for four years: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and preferably one of these at an advanced level; frequent practice in the writing of expository prose. Various important secondary school subjects, such as art and music, are not specifically mentioned in our recommendations. The omission of these subjects should not be interpreted as a value judgment. We are concerned only with secondary school subjects for which we have data that suggest they are specific prerequisites for college work. http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/prospective/applying/college_prep/index.html

Going to college in the USA is very expensive and you must obtain a student Visa and prove you will be able to afford to live and pay for your schooling. Here is a good website on what you need to do. You will not qualify for any federal financial aid from the USA, but you might consider applying for scholarships. EDIT: Most schools have different admissions standards for international students and the above quoted standards are for Americans... you will be required to take the TOEFL test and meet other requirements. Good luck.
