Should I apply for EA? Big dilemma..

Hi,

I’m an international student who want to get to Harvard 16’.
I was born in France and moved to Israel at the age of 13.
The most “impressive” thing on my resume is my military service as commander in a combat unit.
My essay is about the way my leadership was shaped. It emphasizes the fact that at the age of 20, I was already in charge of managing people.

My scores:
-GPA (Israeli): very high 93/100
-SAT I: on October (hope 2200+)
-SAT II: USH - on November, Maths II 800, French 800, Hebrew 800

The “thing” is that I’m afraid to not get enough on the USH test, which will screw my application. If I wait until January (RA) I’ll have time to retake it if necessary.
So how much the EA is really worth (I heard 25% are getting in)? Or should I wait for the Regular Action ?

Thanks
