Does Trinity College offer rolling admissions?

I'm curious whether Trinity College has a rolling admissions policy. If they do, I'd like to know how this might impact the timing of my application and decision notification.

Trinity College in Hartford, CT does not offer rolling admissions. They follow a traditional admissions model with three types of admission options: Early Decision I, Early Decision II, and Regular Decision.

Early Decision I applications are due by November 15 and decisions are notified by mid-December. This is a binding agreement, which means if you are accepted, you agree to withdraw all other college applications and commit to attend Trinity.

Early Decision II applications are due by January 1 and decisions are given out in early February. This, as with ED I, is also a binding agreement.

For Regular Decision, applications are due by January 15 and decisions are notified by late March. Unlike the Early Decision plans, if you are accepted under Regular Decision, you do not have to commit to Trinity until the national candidate’s reply date of May 1.

Remember, applying earlier does not necessarily mean a higher chance of acceptance, but it shows that the college is your first choice, which can be taken into consideration during the admissions process. Keep in mind, however, that since Early Decision is binding, it is important to be certain that Trinity is your number one choice and that you are comfortable with any potential financial aid outcomes before applying ED.
