<p>What are my chances of getting in?</p>

2

<p>Depends on what you want to major in. Don't expect any scholarship money though.</p>

<p>Apply by early Dec., they start reviewing applications then and admit on a rolling basis after that.</p>

<p>I would be applying to the Business School, so the Fox School.</p>

<p>I know my SAT is bad but according to Princeton Review that average SAT score 1053, so I am a little higher then the average.</p>

<p>What are my chances looking like assuming I can bring up my SAT score?</p>

4

<p>Well yep you need to get your SAT's up. Too low.
Also consider taking calculus, better than AP stats. Apply very early.</p>

<p>everybody is tellin u bs, your gpa is good as hell, your extra cur are ****in awesome, you will get in, and they will give u schollie money, i got in and i applied like a week ago, you will get in.. if your essay is awesome, you could get into school for free</p>

<p>Thanks guys, queenbee I understand my score is low but assuming I don't get scholarship money is is that low compared to current Temple students?</p>

<p>Princeton Review has the average score at 1053. (Right now after my 1st time taking it I am above the average)</p>

<p>Collegeboard has the following:
Reading: 490 - 590 (I am at 500 and expect to get it up)
Math: 500 - 600 (I am part of the upper half and expect to get it up)</p>

<p>Also Collegeboard says only 18% of students are in the Top 10 Percent and I am in that.</p>

<p>I think I have a shot, what are my odds of getting scholarship money?</p>

7

<p>well you did say you were applying to the Fox school - that is a little more competitive than say liberal arts.
my daughter's SAT scores were better than yours, she was accepted in Engineering - did not get any scholarship money.</p>

<p>Yuh I am not expecting to get scholarshp money, it would be nice though.</p>

<p>I just right now am hoping to get in.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advce.</p>

<p>BS about scholarship. You'll be in and probably pay very little. I'm an in-stater, 1210 SAT, 3.4 UW GPA, less than $5k a year including room/board.</p>

<p>Get those SATs up a bit and you're golden.</p>
