Students for whom Trinity is the first choice college, and who agree to attend if offered admission, may choose to apply under either Option 1 (November 15) or Option 2 (January 1) of 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 they are 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 affidavit 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.
