Feeling a tad stressed here. Anyone out there got any info about what GPA I need to get into Temple? I know it probably varies but just a range, a ballpark figure, would help a ton.
It's absolutely normal to feel a bit overwhelmed when applying to universities, so don't worry, you're not alone in this. To answer your question, for Temple University, the average high school GPA of admitted students is typically around 3.50. However, this isn't a hard and fast rule as Temple also evaluates other factors aside from GPA.
Remember that being close to that average GPA isn't necessarily a guarantee of admission, just like being under it doesn't spell rejection. They'll also consider your test scores (if submitted, as Temple is test-optional), your coursework rigor, extracurricular activities, and other elements of your application.
Using the information above, I'd say the "ballpark" GPA would lie in the region of 3.0 to 3.75 for a competitive chance. Focus on maintaining or improving your grades, but also give due diligence to the other parts of your application. Best of luck with the process!
