<p>I don't feel comfortable giving an in/out answer. Mainly because I don't know and neither does anybody else. But I can give what I hope is some helpful feedback. </p>
<p>First, you should calculate what your GPA will be when Elon re-calculates and weights it. Here's what an Elon rep has said to me:</p>

Elon calculates a core GPA for every applicant using a standard 4.0 grading scale and considering the core curriculum. This includes English, Math, Foreign Language, History, and Science. We convert your numeric grades for each class assigning them either a 4.0 for an A, 3.0 for a B, 2.0 (C) etc. We do no use a plus or minus system. Our goal is to benefit you therefore we provide additional weight for identified Honors and AP courses. If you have taken AP or Honors classes you can expect your GPA to increase with Elon's grading system. We give 1 additional point for Honors and 2 additional points for AP.

<p>Using that, you should be able to convert your GPA just like Elon will do and compare it to their published stats. The curriculum itself is pretty challenging, so that's good. </p>
<p>On the SAT, I really don't know how Elon will look at the unbalanced scores. You're already above the 75% on CR, but 100 points below the 25% Math range. I think if you can at least pull the math score up above 580 it would help you significantly. Then you would have one subscore above the 25-75 range, and the other would at least be within the range (albeit on the low side). </p>
