Chance an international student?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>So, I've sent my application to Harvard and 8 other universities, and got rejected by MIT, which is why I started wondering if any of the others would accept me.</p>

<p>Basic stats:
SAT 1 - 590 CR, 800 Math, 730 Writing
SAT 2 - 800 Math 2, 74- Physics
Did not take TOEFL(not required)
5.0 grade average (out of 5.0)
One bronze medal at both the senior and the junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad
One participation in the IMO.
Organizer of a very successful local American Sports Club, with help from the Peace Corps
Numerous awards on national level in Mathematics, Computer Programming and Physics
Representative of Morocco at the national Model United Nations.
Translator from Macedonian to English and vice versa for one summer.(I come from Macedonia, btw)
Recommendation letter from a professor at University Of Houston - Downtown
Attended a camp on leadership skills for one summer.
Tutoring younger members of the school math team for 2 years.</p>

<p>That's pretty much it. I know that these 'chance me' threads might be boring or annoying for some, but I really need an outside opinion if I have a chance at Harvard.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Surprisingly, I’ve met many people at Harvard who applied to 10 ivy/top schools and only got into Harvard, so weird things can happen and the fact that you got rejected from MIT doesn’t necessarily reflect your odds at H.</p>

<p>Your stats look okay, probably great for an international, though summer programs (especially in UH) aren’t as impressive as year-long commitments.</p>

<p>You have a chance. But like everyone who hit the “submit” button, your chances were poor. But seeing as you are nine days from hearing the actual decision, what purpose can be had from hearing people’s opinions of your chances? They are frankly, irrelevant.</p>
