Test policy
Test optional Applicants may choose whether to send a score.
Trinity is test-optional; its Fall 2027 early financial aid estimate form says applicants who do not submit SAT/ACT scores receive full consideration, with ED1/EA applicants able to change the test-optional choice until Nov 1 and ED2/RD until Feb 1. (Original 2021 policy was a 3-year pilot later extended; current pages still state test-optional.) (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
