Do you think I'll get in?

<p>I applied to Temple last week and I was wondering about my chances. I chose neuroscience as a major.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.97</p>

<p>ACT: 21 (I know it's low. I didn't pace myself and wound up not answering over 10 questions in each section)</p>

<p>Current year courses: AP language and composition, AP Environmental Science, AP Psychology, AP Microeconomics, AP Calculus AB, and Health Science. </p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities: school paper editor (grade 10), violin player (9 years), Key club (grade 12), Future Physicians Club (grade 12), crisis hotline volunteer (grade 12), and discussion/debate group (grades 11-12)</p>

<p>Also in January I will be doing a dual enrollment with a community college. I've been told my essays are great, and I also have great recommendations. I'm just really worried because my ACT is low. </p>

<p>is your GPA weighted or unweighted? what is GPA scale at your school and what is your approx class rank?</p>

<p>its unweighted on a 4.0 scale and my school doesn’t rank.</p>

<p>If your GPA is so high, and your scores so low, why not use the temple option? </p>

<p>I went to private school for grades 9 and 10 and for part of grade 11. For the rest of grade 11 until this October I was homeschooled. I’m back in a traditional school now, but because I was homeschooled for some of my senior year I’m not elligible for the temple option. Do you think my high GPA will help me out some? When I went to a traditional school in grades 9 and 10 I had all honors courses. I’m really hoping my GPA, challenging course load, and essays will make up for my horrible test score.</p>

<p>is your gpa for your non homeschooled time? Were you do anything particularly challenging while homeschooled that you could use as a selling point? eg college level work and you can prove you were working at that level and that is jut an example. if i am following you right, you were homeschooled for less than a year and in more traditional school settings during 3+ years and while in the more traditional settings, you have a 3.97 GPA and this includes honors classes. if what i have said is correct, i think your chances to get are good despite the low test scores. </p>
