<p>Thanks for your help,</p>
<p>I’m surprised to see that being an international student will actually negatively affect my chances as I’ve read the following at the Harvard website:</p>
<p>“Are a student’s chances of admission hurt if there are other applicants from his or her school or community?
No. There are no quotas for individual schools, communities, states, or countries. A student’s application is compared rigorously with others from around the globe.” ([Harvard</a> College Admissions § Applying: Frequently Asked Questions](<a href=“http://admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/faq.html]Harvard”>http://admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/faq.html))</p>
<p>Fortunately I’ve got enough time left to make a nice application as I’m still in high school, I’m currently 14 years old and I’ll graduate on June 2013.</p>
<p>Nice to meet you GuiltyBystander, are you currently studying in the U.S, and if so, which university do you attend?</p>
