Chancing questions are not permitted on this Q and A. And this is a chancing question. So you should instead input this data into your CV profile and run it on your "my list" of colleges and see how you compare to the acceptance rate. I've seen TikTok vloggers who take your stats and give an educated guess if you are going to be accepted or rejected but this Q&A is not that. There are tools on this site you can use, but it's not like Quora or Reddit, or CollegeConfidential where you might have more luck asking such things from random strangers or parents.
