Help chance a (potentially less than) mediocre student?

@Collegebound115 Yes, I meant New Hampshire!

@ryanPA A fair amount of students from my grade are applying to Temple with more competitive GPAs than I have which makes me more worried than I would be perhaps otherwise.

@bodangles Not sure about whether it’s weighted or unweighted? In any case I intend to raise my GPA to a 2.9 or more hopefully a 3.0 with my grades from the end of my current semester in senior year. It certainly isn’t going to get any lower but I’m also not going to anticipate such a large increase without knowing for sure.

@collegemom3717 Fair question- my GPA is so low because of a failure to successfully navigate personal struggles overcoming addiction and turbulent family relationships. I let my actions be ruled by immediate emotion instead of motivation to succeed in the long run and now it’s coming back to haunt me. I don’t even believe my transcript adequately reflects my strengths because of this. Thank you for the tip about UDC- I would be screwed with housing if I had to move. Is collegedata more or less reliable than cappex, do you know?

@lookingforward Given the stats you’ve just cited for Temple’s average incoming gpa, do you think it’s a complete waste of time to apply to such a reach school?
