Chance me for Harvard 2018 REA

Hi, I am an international student from India and these are my stats-

ECs-

World scholars cup 2017 got a gold medal in debate and creative writing for being in the top 2 %.
House Captain of my school- 2017

This is for class of 2023

As I’m sure you know, international students DO NOT have the same chances as US applicants. That’s because Harvard accepts only about 160 to 180 international students (10% to 11% of an incoming freshman class) and only a handful of students are from India. See: http://www.hio.harvard.edu/statistics (only 19 students from India are currently attending Harvard, meaning Harvard admits about 5 students a year from India).

That said, your ACT score of 31 is BELOW Harvard’s 25th percentile score, meaning that your chances in the RD round are not great, and IMHO your application will get buried in the SCEA round by other students from India who have higher SAT/ACT scores. See C9 Data Points: https://oir.harvard.edu/files/huoir/files/harvard_cds_2017-18.pdf

You will probably be deferred in the SCEA round. I would take the ACT again and look to score a 34+.
