The admissions team considers the following when reviewing your application.
Your essay is an opportunity to stand out from other applicants and express a side of yourself beyond your grades and standardized test scores. The essay should be at least 250 words.
Your interests outside of the classroom can help the admissions team gain a fuller picture of who you are and can factor into the review process.
You should have at least a B average in high school classes, with a 3.0 range in college-prep courses. The admissions team looks for academically well-rounded students. See a recommended distribution of high school courses.
Submit official SAT or ACT test scores. Learn more about test requirements and exceptions. Alternatively, choose the Temple Option to bypass the standardized test requirements if your academic success is not accurately reflected in your test scores.
