It is so much harder for international students to get into places like HS than the low odds for American citizens, that it would be a waste of time for people to give you odds. You are competing with some of the most outstanding students from around the world for a very few spaces Unfortunately, the bulk of your competitors probably are outstanding, well off Asians, and the top colleges aren’t going to fill all of their international spots with students from China, Korea and India, so we don’t know whether you will get in. I don’t think that the fact that you were rejected from Stanford means Harvard will reject you, too. You still have a chance at Harvard, but I wouldn’t estimate how large that chance is.
