2% is probably generous.

Harvard does tell you how many current students they have by country (right now, none from Poland)- but that doesn’t tell you anything about your odds, because 1) there is no info on how many people applied from any given country and 2) they don’t admit by country (there is no per-country quota).

All of these universities are able to simply pick the superstar applicants from a lot of star applicants from all over the world.

If you are enough of a star to be looking at universities at that level, then you have 2 additional options: apply to colleges that either give massive financial aid based on your test scores (eg University of Alabama), and look for competitive scholarships. Examples include famous ones, such as Morehead-Cain at UNC-CH & Duke, the, Duke Robertson and the Stamps Scholarships (at lots of places, including Catholic University in DC), to less well-known ones such as McDermott @ UT-Dallas, Neely @ Lewis & Clark, and Arrupe @Loyola Marymount (CA). These range from really hard to as hard to being as hard as getting into Harvard as an international student to get - but they do give you more options, and if you are a stand-out student it could happen.
