Admissions Overview

Temple University has a less selective admissions process with a 79.70% acceptance rate. Most students who apply get in, making this a realistic option for many college-bound seniors. The university welcomes students from diverse academic backgrounds and doesn't require sky-high test scores or perfect GPAs. Temple values students who show persistence and determination, qualities that align with the university's motto "Perseverantia Vincit" (perseverance conquers). The school particularly seeks students interested in hands-on learning and urban experiences. Temple looks for applicants who want to engage with Philadelphia's active culture while pursuing rigorous academics in programs like business, communications, or pre-med tracks.
