@gibby I made a typo. Does it means that there haven’t been qualified applicants? Or they just didn’t like the education they received?

As @gibby points out, the statistics are terrible for everybody, and worse than terrible for international students. But, @Jayadevvd, from what you have posted you are a credible candidate, and honestly, nobody can say more than that for any applicant (except somebody like Malala, but she’s going to Oxford, so you’re good!). So, you might as well apply.

However, if you really want to go to university in the US, look beyond Harvard, because I wouldn’t be surprised if there weren’t some very academically strong colleges that would be delighted to have you, and that do meet need for international students. You might not know the names, but most of them offer an exceptional education. Look here:
