<p>You will be competing with the other INTERNATIONAL students for admission…not the 18 year old teenagers from the U.S. (who by the way…are very stellar applicants for places like Harvard). Perhaps your application will stand out because of your army service…but all other things…well…other internationals bring similarly special things to the table.</p>
<p>I DO suggest you apply to Harvard…but I also think you need to have some other options in case YOUR lottery ticket isn’t drawn. The school accepts less than 10% of international students who apply.</p>
