<p>I'd say you have a great chance</p>

<p>I agree you have a great chance because you have a stated major and shown you are for real by taking all the Chinese courses and related EC. I might add, Asian studies have become more popular in recent years due to the growing prominence of China as a global power. Good luck to your admission and future career if you choose to pursue for the betterment of East-West relation.</p>
