<p>Hi-
Difficult to answer your question other than you will know for sure in under three weeks.
If it is helpful, as you stated, your GPA is under average but your ACT/SAT is within the above average range. Good Luck !</p>

<p>If that’s your unweighted GPA then you are most likely in. Although I wouldn’t call your SAT/ACT scores (especially ACT) all that high in comparison to your GPA. A high ACT score would be somewhere in the 30s. </p>

<p>It helps you a lot that you’re in IB. That is what will get you in. FSU loves IB students.</p>

<p>Is your GPA the FSU GPA Or unweighted?</p>

<p>3.3 is not bad unweighted especially if you took many Honor/Ap/Ip.</p>
