Reach out to the college directly and show interest. Ask to speak with the department who reviews applications and ask the same question you did here. They might be able to offer an insight you haven’t considered.
Beyond that, decent grades, joining clubs, and volunteering rarely hurt your chances.

Hi Zain,
My last of 2 children just went to college, so I'm fresh from seeing them go through the process. A couple of things I would say.. first, put in the work on your grades, and challenge yourself with tough classes -- especially in Math if you have any desire to go into business or engineering. Colleges look at both grades, and the classes you took in high school. Second, I suggest having a well rounded experience in high school. So this means its not all about just your grades. Colleges look for how you engaged in your high school experience -- Sports, clubs, volunteer work, etc. Ultimately you need to "build your story" as to who you are beyond your class work. Best of Luck!!!!
