I did a partial sampling of the data from "Official Harvard Results"(class 2016 to class 2020). Here are some of the findings:
A : Accept
R : Reject
D: Deferred
W : Wait listed
SCEA : Single choice early action
RD : Regular decision
2020 SCEA : 1A + 2D
2020 RD :
2019 SCEA : 5A + 3D
2019 RD : 1R + 1W
2018 SCEA : 6A
2018 RD : 2A + 1R + 1W
2017 SCEA : 2A + 1D
2017 RD : 3A + 3R
2016 SCEA : 4A + 1D
2016 RD : 5A + 1R + 1W
Assuming all D and W end up being R.
If you apply SCEA, your chance is 79%. If you apply RD, your chance is 58%. The overall chance is 70%.
If you are unlucky enough to get rejected, you will most likely end up in another lesser IVY or another top 20 schools.
Among the 43 perfect scorers, over 90% are Asians, Surprise!
