<p>Hi!!!
I'm Japanese and desperately wanting to go to Harvard.
Even though my date of applying is about 3 years away, I want to know how hard an international student to be accepted at Harvard compared to American citizen.
And I heard that there is limit to the race or what nationality you are from. Is that true?
For instance, do I have to compite with the other Japanese or the Chinese to get into Harvard??</p>

<p>Hi shinshinhash,</p>

<p>All international students are in the same application pool - so yes, you have to compete with fellow Japanese, Chinese, Indians etc etc. You have to be really competitive, but you can never know what the adcoms are looking for. ;)</p>
