About Trinity College
Trinity College is a very small private university in Hartford, CT, in a city setting.
What Trinity College looks for
With an acceptance rate around 29%, the application readers spend less time per file than they do at the most selective schools, but they still read. A solid GPA, strong letters, and an essay that sounds like you wrote it yourself go a long way here. The biggest unforced error: a generic supplement essay. Even moderately selective schools notice when you have not bothered to learn anything about them.

Is Trinity College a reach, match, or safety for me?
