It is good to see dedication in your ECs; having 3-4 ECs with loads of involvment beats having a dozen ECs with subpar involvment.

Vanderbilt: Reach
Emory: High match
USC: High match

High match has a little better acceptance odds as compared to a reach...

I am confident that you would probably make it into emory, because my sister made it in with a 29 ACT score, and did not have as much EC as you do.
