I applied to Temple using the common app in early October, and I have yet to get a reply. I applied for undecided engineering. Their engineering program sounded amazing when I visited, but the campus was not at all what I was looking for in a college. If I don’t get into my first two choices, however, Temple will hopefully be my go to because I can just commute. The problem is, I don’t know if I will even be accepted to Temple, so my backup plan isn’t foolproof whatsoever. I didn’t notice when it got so competitive! Please help me out here.

My stats are as follows:

4.45 weighted gpa
3.85 unweighted
1,210 SAT - 590 math, 620 reading and writing
top 20% class rank
I took around 20 honors classes, maybe a few more and 2 AP courses, and I got A’s in both APs.

I participated in a few clubs, played soccer all four years and basketball and softball both freshman and sophomore year. I also work for about 15 hours a week at a local CVS. My common app essay wasn’t great story-wise, but the vocabulary and sentence structures were pretty good, although that might not mean anything if the story and moral were pointless.

So, based on this, do you think I will be able to get into the engineering program? Thanks in advance!
