I think you have a good chance to get accepted. You should make sure to write a great essay though.

Thank you for your input. I'm working on my supplement apps as we speak.

I would say you have a good chance to get accepted. However, it's tough competition for intl applicants. Just make sure you write a good essay/supplement and you have an even stronger chance.
chance back please
