George Mason is more my safe school so I’m not sure if I want to risk it by applying for Honors College. Is it worth the risk and what are my chances of getting accepted?

I know my Freshman year grades hurt me a lot but will it make a difference that I somewhat improved over the years?
I unfortunately am not in many extracurriculars in school but I have been part of TSA for the past two years and will be again this year. I’m super passionate about it and have put a considerable amount of time and effort into it, but I don’t think this is enough. This year I will be part of Science Honor Society to tutor more in Chem. Outside of school I do Archery.
