Dear arod7533,
I think FSU is a possibility for you, but it is hard to comment with certainty as you do not have a GMAT and do not provide why you want get your MBA. If you believe FSU's program is a good match for your goals and you (i.e., curriculum, resources, culture, etc.), then there is no reason to believe you don't have a chance with a solid application package. You will want to score in the competitive range (mid-50%) of the GMAT for FSU; however, since your GPA is below the 3.0 preference, then scoring above the GMAT average is best. Finally, if you haven't already done so, I encourage you to visit FSU and speak with the admissions folks there regarding your profile. Establishing a good rapport will be helpful as your application will be more than a name on the page.
Good luck,
Lisa
