Nobody here can accurately tell you what are your chances. That’s up to the admissions committee. Your extracurriculars and academics look good though.
 
You look competitive academically and with EC's but, as with all things, this is a competition and nobody here knows how you stack up with others in your district. Control what you can control, don't worry about what you cannot, and put together the best package you can.

Personal advice, without sports, you need to strive to do well on the CFA as admissions will not have anything else to go on to gauge your physical fitness. If you have not already taken it, train hard and knock it out of the park.
 
Alright, thank you! I haven't taken the CFA yet because I am only a junior. I am training for it with a 2 mile run, pushups, and planks every day.
 
Your application seems better than mine did and I got in. But also important is your nomination. First you must compete against people in your district/state. And after that, compete nationally.

If you can, buy a pull up bar, they aren’t too expensive. Do a couple pull-ups every time you walk by it. You have time to train to max out several events.
 
You might be able to do something sports-related outside of school. Taking a martial arts class or participating in some sort of team sport will help round-out your application.
