According to their admissions page, they are looking for a B average, with a 3.0 range in college-prep courses. In other words, if you took things like home ec or shop and did poorly on them, but did well on English, math, and history, you would be fine, but of course for most people it is the other way around. As far as SAT, they want 500-600 on both critical reading and math - they don't mention the writing section, so they may not count it. Back when I taught there, Temple was an open admissions school, which meant that if you graduated from high school, you could get in, but they had too many applicants, so they set limits. You aren't too far off, and if you could get your SATs up to where you really want them, you might be okay. It's a good school, so good luck!
