<p>Is the GPA you listed weighted or unweighted?</p>

3

<p>Unweighted</p>

4

<p>You are at the 75th percentile for Math and probably closer to 90th percentile for CR for Furman. I think your SAT scores will more than compensate for a below average unweighted GPA. I think 4s on your APs will be another strong factor for you and is the minimum for Furman to give you credit for the courses. Looks like you are a good test taker which does not really correlate with your GPA. I think your chances are strong. Good Luck!</p>
