Your ACT is above the 75th percentile of admitted students. Likely admits, though nothing is guaranteed.
Your ACT sits inside the middle 50% of admitted students. A reasonable chance, decided by the rest of your application.
Your ACT is below the 25th percentile. Possible, but you would need real strength elsewhere.
