How to read these numbers

The 2024 rate covers Temple University's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
The table above holds 12 reported years, 2013 through 2024. Across them Temple University's rate ranged from 52.2% to 82.9%, so any single year is one point inside that range.

Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
