I have Temple on my list but I'm getting anxious about my GPA not being good enough. Can anyone give me a ballpark of what I might need?
Sure, I'd be happy to help! Typically, students who get accepted into Temple University tend to have GPAs in the range of 3.38 to 4.0, with the average being around 3.5. But it's important to remember that GPA is just one element of your application. Temple also looks at course load and grade trends. So, if your GPA is on the lower end but you have a strong upward trend in your grades or have taken a rigorous course load, it could still work in your favor. Temple also considers other factors like your SAT scores (if you choose to submit them), your extracurricular activities, and your essays. Just keep working hard and try to improve where you can!
