Hey guys, I'm currently a junior and starting to look at potential colleges. Towson University has caught my eye, and I'm curious, what does the typical accepted student profile look like there? Are there certain GPA or extracurricular activities that are more common among those who get in? Just trying to gauge how I might fit in there.
Hi there! It's great to hear you're taking a proactive approach to your college search. Towson University typically looks for students who have a strong academic record. Most admitted students have GPAs that range from about 3.0 to 3.9. While they do consider SAT and ACT scores as part of their admissions process, remember that these are only one piece of the puzzle. Towson also values a well-rounded student body and looks for students with a variety of interests and extracurricular activities. Leadership roles, community service, and sustained commitment in activities are examples that can strengthen your application. Towson's website also offers a 'Freshman Profile' with statistics on the GPA, test scores, and demographics of their most recently admitted class, which could give you a more concrete idea of what they're looking for. Remember, every student is unique, and if Towson is where you can see yourself thriving, it's worth putting in your best effort to present a strong application. All the best in your junior year!
