I'm interested in applying to Trinity University, but I'm curious about the typical ACT scores of admitted students. Can anyone give me an idea of the score range they usually accept? Thanks!
Trinity University is a moderately selective school, and knowing the ACT score range of admitted students can definitely help you better understand your chances of acceptance. In recent years, the middle 50% ACT score range for accepted students has been around 30-34. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 30, while another 25% scored above a 34, and the remaining 50% fell within this range.
Keep in mind that while test scores are an important part of the application process, Trinity University also looks at other aspects, including your GPA, extracurricular involvement, and personal essays. Being slightly below the range above does not mean you'll automatically be rejected - just focus on showcasing your strengths in other areas of your application.
It is also worth noting that Trinity is officially test-optional, so submitting an ACT (or SAT) score is actually not required. However, you're smart to still be thinking about a target score, as there can be instances where including a test score with your application is a good idea.
