Please chance me for the following schools:
Temple University (applying EA, visited the school, very interested, top choice by far) (Also interested in their honors program but my scores are low for the program)
Drexel University
Also, if I get into these schools, do you think my amount of aid will be significant enough to justify attending?
I’m 100% interested in Temple and my heart is set on going to school in Philly. I am really hoping I can not only get into the school, but get into the honors program. If you have any experience with the school, please let me know!
