Chances of Top 30 schools--- Low GPA, decent EC, high SAT/ACT

<p>What are my chances of getting into Emory, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Boston College, Holy Cross, USC, and Vanderbilt? My number one choice is Emory. I've had a couple C's, but mostly B's and some A's. My attendance is sporadic and my GPA is on the lower end because of a death in the immediate family, unstable family dynamic, severe depression etc although I know it's no excuse. I'm most interested in majoring in theology, journalism, and marketing. </p>
