EARLY DECISION APPLICANTS


Students for whom Trinity is the first choice college, and who agree to attend if offered admission, may choose to apply under the Early Decision Program.

EARLY DECISION: OPTION 1

All application materials (except the mid-year secondary school report) must be received no later than November 15.

Candidates will be notified of admission decisions by mid-December.


EARLY DECISION: OPTION 2

All application materials must be received no later than January 1.

Candidates will be notified of admission decisions by mid-February.

Candidates applying through Option 2 are permitted to apply to other institutions, but are expected to withdraw those applications if admitted to Trinity College.

Both options require a signed statement affirming the candidate's commitment to attend Trinity if admitted (please print and return a signed Early Decision Agreement 2009-2010 by the application deadline). 

Candidates will receive one of three decisions: acceptance, deferral, or denial.

Those denied admission under either early decision option will not be reconsidered during the regular season.
