While I think that “chancing” people is a bit crazy due to the nature of the college admissions beast, you resume is stunning and I would be utterly shocked if you weren’t accepted!!

I can say that you surely will get in, but I have seen many Chance me and many results, especially for international students since I’m unfamiliar with the process for international students, and your application is much stronger than many people who actually got in, so I would say your chances are pretty high, especially if you don’t need financial aid.
