I would give you a 95% chance of acceptance.

You are in. I even think that you will get into "better" schools and then forget Rochester

You will have trouble getting into an Ivy, Duke, or other extremely competitive school unless you get at least 150 more points on your SAT retake.

could i get financial aid at rochester?

you might get partial aid like 18 to 20 thousand per year, still you have to come up with 30-34 thousand a year. Rochester does not give out full aid for internationals. Hope this helps. I know this because my nephew applied last year and got in with similar stats and was offered 20 thousand.
