Not sure about your chances because you are on the edge- your only weakness is your GPA but your upward trend will help. But about legacy and undeclared vs. business major:

About legacy- they say it is “considered” but after my legacy daughter was not admitted (I went there as well as my two sons), I asked admissions about legacy. The person I talked to told me straight out that legacy DOES NOT help in admissions. However, they give one consolation to legacies: if you are not admitted, you will be given an opportunity to meet with an USC advisor to get special guidance on how to transfer in later.

Don’t worry about applying undeclared vs. business major. When applying to Marshall. general admissions will evaluate you first. If they admit you, you will at least be offered admission to CLAS which includes undeclareds. Then, Marshall will evaluate you for admission to Marshall. If you are rejected from Marshall, you will still be offered admission to CLAS.
