<p>Does Harvard regard Canadian students applying for EA as US citizens? I'm asking this because two of us (from the same school) applied to Harvard. The other guy got in (he had a chemistry olympiad gold medal); I was deferred. I thought I had a decent shot (3990, good ranking, grades, recs, report), but I'm not too sure anymore. Does sending additional letters help? (I just got my mid-year ranking). I also saw somewhere the figures that roughly 5% of deferred EA and RD applicants get in. Are these figures correct? Thanks for replying!</p>
