Being truely realistic, what are my chances for Temple University,Drexel University.

<p>Well im a junior at a public high school in a pretty poor town near Boston. not counting my junior year my GPA is about 2.6-2.7 Family issues, my great aunt past away, and freshmen/sophomore year was not my proudest time of my life. However I did take mostly honors classes fresh/soph year, and currently as a junior im taking honors and 2 AP classes. Im hoping to raise my grade up to atleast a 3.0+ by the end of Junior year. Im also studying my butt off for that SAT, my PSAT i got like roughly 1800. &lt;/p>

<p>Im confident i can score 1800-2000.</p>

<p>As for Extracurricular activities here it is:
American Red Cross Youth Advisory Board - Board member - 1 year - 50/hrs
American Red Cross club High School - President for consecutive 2 years - 70/hrs
Asian Student Club - member - 2 years
Italian Club - member - 2 years
ATASK ( Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence ) Organization - Intern - 2 years - 150/hrs</p>

<p>With Red Cross, I work and collab with other youths in the city for inter-city and school-wide community service activities and fund-raisers.
I raised fund for Global Measles Initiative, World Hunger, and currently bring Domestic Violence Awareness into my high school. </p>

<p>With ATASK, I been working with youth in all different communities, giving schools workshops and teaching them about Domestic Violence. </p>

<p>Beside that im a pretty normal person, play guitar, hang out in the city, trying to make a change in society stuff like that.</p>

<p>As for school, I really want to get away from Boston and grow more as an individual, I really want to go to Temple university, or Drexel University.</p>

<p>To the good people of College Confidential what you do my realistic chances are for these school? If not what other school with a great environment for young minds.</p>

<p>3.0 will be just enough for Temple. Match.</p>

<p>Drexel is reasonable but not definite, it depends how much forgiveness they’ll give you for your GPA based on what you explain to them. SATs are fine enough. Reach/Low-reach.</p>

<p>Get over a 3.0 gpa n 1800 ur in at both for sure.</p>

<p>^Agreed. Don’t sweat it, just work your butt off to bring up your GPA and you will be fine.</p>

<p>Thanks alot guys !</p>
