You have a very good chance in getting accepted as long as you explain your situation during 9th and 10th grade. You could even ask your counselor to mention it in his/her recommendation for you unless you want to use it for your personal statement.

You said you’re majoring in Finance, so I’m assuming that you’re applying to Marshall, correct? Make sure you show them that you have activities that reflect your major. Of course, all the activities you’ve listed should also be mentioned in the EC portion of the application because they show you are well rounded.

Did you take the SAT? Is it higher than your ACT? Though, your ACT score is around the middle range of USC and it is competitive.

Finally, good luck! I think the admissions rate will be slightly lower this coming year, but only by about a percent or two, so you definitely have a chance of getting accept. Personally, I’m entering USC in the fall.
