Your real odds
No public approval rate exists, but ADC is built specifically for underbanked African immigrant entrepreneurs who don't qualify for traditional financing.
As a CDFI, ADC is mission-driven to lend to this community, and their active roster of success stories suggests ongoing lending rather than a high-rejection funnel.

Worth knowing
