Temple Owls, I need your help. I'm a junior right now and fixing my sights on Temple University. What GPA should I be aiming for to have a realistic shot at getting accepted?
It's great to see you're planning ahead for college admissions. While the GPA expectations can vary from year to year, you should aim for a solid GPA in the realm of 3.5 or higher to be competitive for Temple University. Keep in mind that this is a ballpark figure; the average unweighted high school GPA of incoming freshmen at Temple has historically been around a 3.54. It's also important to challenge yourself with AP or honors courses if they're available, as the admissions office looks at the rigor of your high school curriculum. Of course, this is just one piece of the puzzle, so make sure to maintain a strong overall application. Best of luck, and keep working hard!
