Recommendations
Trinity requires a recommendation from a college counselor and two teacher recommendations. The two required teacher recommendations should be completed by those who have instructed you in college preparatory courses in either of your final two years of secondary school. The College prefers that an English or history teacher complete one of the two recommendations.
Standardized Testing Requirements
Applicants may submit one or more of the following options:
any two SAT II Subject Tests
the SAT I Reasoning Test
the ACT (writing is recommended)
the TOEFL (non-native English speakers only)
(Submission of any one option satisfies our standardized testing requirement.)
The Trinity College Score Choice Policy is as Follows:
We will consider your highest section scores across all SAT test dates that you submit. Only your highest section scores will be considered as part of the final admissions decision. Each time that you submit scores, we will update your record with any new scores. We strongly encourage you to submit your scores each time you take the SAT. Sending your scores each time you take the SAT can benefit you by allowing Trinity to consider you for all available enrollment-related opportunities. We also encourage you to submit your scores each time you take the ACT.
It is the applicant's responsibility to have test scores sent to the Admissions Office. Trinity's CEEB code is 3899 and the ACT code is 0598.
