<p>@tola2015 Oh right, I believe I would be considered under the ethnic group of Asian - I trust this is not good for me.</p>
<p>How is it harder for int students - I know this is true but is there a certain amount of domestic applicants that they have to take.</p>
<p>It’s just that there are alot of international applicants and they can’t take them all. So chances are that they would take someone who has for example an international science award over the person who only has a national science award in his country. Internationals compete against internationals for positions. </p>
<p>I don’t believe there is a set quota of how many domestic students they have to take. Harvard has a 6% acceptance rate. In 2013, Harvard had 35,023 applicants and only admitted 2,047 students (11.1% were internationals approximately 227 students). </p>
<p>@tola2015 Oh right, so since only the best applicants internationally will be applying and chances are that they will have the highest scores it will be harder.</p>
<p>Is there a percentage of how many int get accepted out of the total amount of internationals?</p>
<p>Unfortunately I cannot find the exact number of international applicants just the number of applicants that were accepted. </p>
<p>You should still apply though. Do you have anything else you bring to the table aside from possibly high test scores. Also are you applying for the class of 2019? You may want to apply Restrictive Early Action. </p>
