So I have submitted all of my Early Action colleges. I am very interested in these two colleges, but they do not have EA so I would apply Regular Decision. Could anyone tell me if it would be worth it to apply to these schools? Would I have a chance of getting in?

SAT: not submitting

Letters of Recommendations:
I waived my rights, but I would assume they are pretty good. Especially my counselor recommendation. That one is going to be amazing.
Essays:
I would say my general common app essay is pretty good (I had it reviewed by some people who review college essays.
