<p>I honestly don’t know the answer to your question about deadlines and Harvard, however, I am a mother of a Phillips Andover student and I think the International aspect would be looked upon favorably increasing your chances. The Admissions people are welcoming, kind individuals, and I know they would answer your question honestly. Just give them a call, explain your circumstances and ask. There are plenty of good schools in the greater Boston area to attend if you need to wait a year.</p>
<p>^Exactly, also… late admissions have a much lower chance of admission. Either apply next year as a repeat, or apply this year knowing that you probably can’t get in.</p>
