Looks like you have a decent/good chance of admission. Do you plan to re-take the ACT? I think your ACT score is really good, but being a international student a higher ACT score may likely help a lot.

Extracurriculars matter most
I'm the mother of a CMC student, and I can see how nervous and worried you are about your chances. I don't know if you will find it comforting, but here's what I recommend: Your grades are great. Look at the school stats for standardized test scores. If you are at or above the average, you are over the threshold for acceptance. What they really look for is Leadership. That matters way more than grades and scores once you cross the threshold of ability to do the work. So in your application, emphasize everything you do that shows leadership. That will enhance your chances more than a few extra points on a test. Good luck.
