Waaaooooh! I like this! Your aims are high, and I think asking before it's time is a pointer that you're closer to your dreams than you realize.
Yeah, sit tight and finish Maths UI with a first class. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT, for now. Maths PhD is not as structured as BS Maths, in that math research is so broad, and you'll be starting out with a blank plate, for you to go figure it out. Whereas in your undergraduate days, you generally have an idea of the proofs, methods and solutions. The best way is to finish among the top 1% of your graduating class, preferably the best graduating.

How?

Treat each class, each test, each assignment, each quiz, each exam, each term paper with all seriousness. With time, that lofty dream of an 8.0 (am I right) will materialize.

And as for preparation for a PhD at top US schools, don't fret about taking tests for now. When it's time, you'll need to take the GRE general test, GRE Math Subject test and TOEFL/IELTS. But, my brother, for now, you need to be focused on that 4-year stint at UI. But to whet your appetite, check these sites for admissions requirements and FAQ for Maths Graduate Adm at MIT.

https://math.mit.edu/academics/grad/admission/index.php

And this is a short FAQ:
https://math.mit.edu/academics/grad/admission/faq

In summary, they want to see that you have:
1. Consistently aced your undergraduate classes (aka 85% and above)
2. Demonstrated interest in Math Research to your lecturers, enough for them to later help you write glowing hot letters of recommendation on your behalf
3. Mastered your coursework excellently enough to score very highly on the GRE Math Subject test (MIT requires this, and yes, it's different from the GRE general test)

And that should do it. You won't have to worry about tuition, once you can get enough funds to apply and fly to the US.
Plus, the choices available to you after PhD are truly limitless.

Good luck!
I really appreciate your gesture sir, it is actually 7.0.

With that grade, kansas state should be a safe school. Your GPA is really good. You may include kansas but aim for higher ranked schools. Most PhD guys here have funding. The financial statement thing is an immigration requirement and if you don't have your funding early, you might need that.
However, I am a bit afraid your Toefl might not be good enough (for funding) especially if your speaking score is lower than 22. Good luck man.
Thank you. I did have 22 on the speaking section

I dont necessarily have Premium magoosh videos for TOEFL but if you drop your facebook email, i would add you to a TOEFL facebook group. You will definitely find all the materials you need there.

Additionally, you can look it up on any torrent site. I guess you would find it there as well.

My two cents.....to make high scores on the GRE (to ace it)....start with the Magoosh videos, watch all 280 plus videos to ""learn"" the tricks in the GRE...then move to the Nova Math Bible (if you dont have this you can use Manhattan) or Princeton and then use the Barron for the Verbal Section.....for the Analytical Section I also recommend an ebook authored by Mark Alan Stewart ""Answers to the Real Essay Questions of the GRE"".....the whole essays...it is a current book...and GRE will select an essay question from Essay Pool on their website......you can save time with this on test day....if you read the book from cover to cover

Good Luck
