I don't know the stats for any of these but usc, according to ecs and community service you have a good chance, just get that gpa, and write good essays, since you are a hispanic it might help. good luck

I think you'll get into USC.
About the other ones...Sorry, I don't know the rest of the schools. However, you could go to mychances dot net and make an account, update your profile, add schools, and it shows your % chance of getting in. Really, try it. GL!

Vanderbilt, USC and Texas are the only (faint) question marks. But I think you'll get into both Vandy and USC; I don't know about Texas, the whole 10% rule clouds the math.
