Yes and no…
Yes : you’re competitive.
No : no one has “a good chance” for HYPSM.
You’re a very competitive applicant, meaning your odds are close to 20%, perhaps higher if you apply REA/SCEA to one. That’s more than four to five times regular odds. However that’s still 80% odds you wont get in.

What is “good income” ? More than 125k?
Have you talked with your parents to know how much they’re able/willing to give you each year for college? Don’t assume, ask for a $ range, and don’t be placated by “we’ll figure it out” (as those typically end up the worst: no affordable college).

Do you have two affordable safeties and about four or five likelies you like?
