REA does not provide a major admissions boost (compared to schools with an ED option) as the applicant is not obligated to attend if accepted. If Harvard is your top choice for whatever reason then it is fine to apply REA there.

As noted above the acceptance rate for any of these universities is in the low single digits. Go for it - but be sure to have a solid backup plan in place.
