In need of reassurance

So about a month ago I added pomona to my list of colleges because I ended up second guessing a lot of the schools I was applying to. However, now I haven’t been able to interview and my guidance counselor says this is very detrimental. She tells me that Pomona is definitely a long shot (meaning she doubts I will get in). Is this true? Here are my stats:

SAT–2110 (1430, math and verbal)
GPA-- 96.5
All honors courses throughout high school, 4 APs, 5 art courses

-Varsity swim captain (varsity all four years)
-Key Club Member
-National Honor Society
-Big Buddies
-National Honor Society Tutor
-Play Cello in local orchestra

-Work as a lifeguard

I also live in Maine, which is pretty far away, so hopefully that makes me a slightly different candidate.

Do I have any chance of being accepted? Was applying a waste of my time?
