Chance a lowkey average student at above average schools!

1210 to 1400-1500ish is a huge jump, though you do have some time until you need to take the SAT, so hope for the best but keep in mind that 50 points or so is a more typical improvement from PSAT to SAT.

There are two pretty good ways to get a better idea of what your chances are like at particular schools. One is Naviance scattergrams from your HS. The second is to google “Common Data Set” and the name of the college or university you are interested in.

If you do that for Temple it will take you to https://www.temple.edu/sites/www/files/2020-2021_common.pdf look at Section C where you will find that your current stats put you somewhere around the 50th - 60th percentile of last years accepted/enrolled students. Don’t know if you considered that a safety or not, but with median stats as compared to the accepted/enrolled students, it is more like a possible match.
