F1 Stamping

If anybody here could give me an advice, I would greatly appreciate as I have been very nervous for many months now. I came here to the U.S on a B2 (tourist) visa and I changed my status to F1. I never had the "prospective student" annotation on my I-94 and I got my COS anyway. (For those of you that say that only people with "prospective student" annotation can get a COS--that is not true!)
Anyhow I have been attending a community college here and I'm about halfway done with my course. I would like to go back to my home country (Brazil) to apply for visa stamping there. I'm very nervous because I know there is always a chance that it may be denied. I think I have some positive things going for me: I'm in my eary twenties my father has been paying for my education here, I have no relatives whatsoever in America and no immigration petition of any kind. I am a high honors student who is showing progress towards achieving my degree. What are my chances of actually getting the visa? Would it be too difficult? My concern is: I'm already 50% done with this course and my father has already shed thousands of dollars towards my education. If the visa were denied the whole money effort and hardwork during my studies here would literally go to waste. I'm nervous. Any advice? Thank you
