Hello ! Can you guys please give me feedback on my chances on acceptance to the university? I have applied via Regular Decision already to the College of LSA with a major of Computer Science.

In my essay I spoke about how enrolling in college as a first generation student would have a bigger impact on my family than people would actually thing and my motivation for being not only the student I am but person as well.
I have already expressed to my admissions counselor about my heavy interest in the university and included how I visited campus in my application.
My only fear is because I applied via Regular Decision will be there be enough space for me to be accepted? Plus do my ACT score and GPA make me a competitive applicant giving my situation.
