Hey I’m a senior from NJ and Temple is also one of my top 3 choices along UCONN and Northeastern. I have similar stats with a GPA littler higher than a 3.0. I think you are definitely well rounded with a good amount of extracurriculars. You said you had difficulties early in high school so that might be advantage. I think you have a solid chance with having a lot of ECs and you have an upward trend. It’s not gonna be easy for both of us but as long as you put the best application possible with a great essay and ECs then you definitely stand a chance.

@Schlob i promise you that you are in for sure.

Thanks! I’m not applying to UConn, but I did get rejected from Northeastern. I was pretty disappointed, but I let it go, because it was obviously a reach school for me. I wish you the best of luck!

Good luck to you as well. Hopefully I could get into one of my top 3 choices but I know they would be reaches as well.

7

You’ve got a chance at UConn. I know a couple people who went there with GPAs a little above 3.0

8

I’m another senior from NJ, who’s top choice is Temple. I think you have a good chance.

You most likely will get in. Just keep your grades up senior year and get really good recommendations.
