Hello everyone! As a junior starting to look at colleges, I'm trying to gauge my chances at Temple University. Does anyone know the average SAT score for admitted students? I know they're test-optional now, so I'm just trying to decide whether or not to submit my scores. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Based on the most recent data available, the average SAT for admitted students at Temple University is around 1280. Keep in mind that this is just an average, so students are accepted with scores both above and below this mark.
Since Temple University has adopted a test-optional policy, you can decide whether or not to submit your SAT scores based on how competitive you believe they are compared to the school's average. If your SAT score falls around 1280, submitting it could be a good idea, as it might add strength to your application. However, if your score is below that mark, it's worth considering not submitting it, and focusing on other aspects of your application like GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays to showcase your strengths.
