Should I apply as early as possible?

<p>I know that Temple is a rolling-admissions school.
I'm a rising senior and my GPA is a lower than their average and my SAT score is a little higher than their average.
I don't think I have the best chance of admission, but Temple is my number one choice right now.</p>

<p>I feel like if I apply early I might have a better chance at admission since it's early in the admissions season and they still have a lot of space to fill. But what if I do well the first semester of my senior year? It'll raise my GPA and show an even bigger upward trend than I already have.</p>

<p>What should I do? :/</p>

<p>apply early and give reason for your poor GPA in your essays.</p>

<p>What is your GPA and SAT score?</p>
