SAT Range1340 to 1453
ACT Range30 to 34
Average GPAN/A
Acceptance Rate29.3%

At Trinity, test-optional does not mean scores are irrelevant. With admission around 29%, a score near the upper half of the middle range, about 1400+ SAT or 32+ ACT, gives you a clear competitive target. If you apply without scores, strong grades and course rigor need to do more of the work.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Trinity, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes and potential superscore gains, with the October test date typically the last one that will arrive in time for the November 15 Early Decision deadline.
