Let me echo T26E4’s comments.

HYPSM limit the number of international students to about 10% to 11% of an incoming freshman class. That means that Harvard admits about 160 to 190 international students per year – and most of those students are from 6 countries: Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, China, Japan and Korea. To see how many students from your country are currently attending Harvard, go to: http://www.hio.harvard.edu/statistics. From the pull-down menus, select STUDENTS, HARVARD COLLEGE (the undergraduate school) and YOUR COUNTRY. Be sure to divide that number by 4 to get an idea of about how many students are admitted each year from your country.

Then read this article about all the famous people who have been rejected from Harvard: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704211704575139891390595962.

If a future Nobel Laureate can be rejected from Harvard (twice), so can anyone. Nothing is guaranteed.
