<p>It’s hard to chance you with the info you provided. Take a look at FSUs website for the gpa calculation instructions – you’ll need to convert your gpa to FSU scale in order to tell if you’re a good candidate. They won’t count non-academic courses in the calculation (such as art, PE, band), but they do count all AP courses (including art history). From their website “Grades of C- or better in dual enrollment, AICE, AP, and IB coursework will receive 1 full bonus point in the recalculation; grades of C- or better in honors, pre-AICE, pre-AP, and pre-IB will receive 1/2 bonus point.”</p>

<p>Are you retaking the SAT or have you taken the ACT? Test scores are a little low, but not necessarily a disqualifier if your gpa is really strong. Still, you should pull them up if you can. Is your senior schedule strong? They like to see a challenging senior year. They generally don’t look beyond gpa, strength of schedule, and scores unless you are on the borderline, and then they may look at essay and ECs to decide.</p>

<p>Try recalculating your GPA and see what you come up with. Good luck!</p>
