I know my GPA is really low but i drove down from Houston and interviewed with the admissions counsellor and it went really well, so hopefully I’ll get admitted. although I don’t think my GPA is good enough for a scholarship

Waitlisted
Trinity had an increase in 2,500 applications, jumping from 5,500 to 8,000. So i guess you can say its much harder to get into this year.
REJECTED

New SAT: 1460 (680 ERW + 780 M)

ECs: now that I think of it, nothing fancy (programming, literary, guitar, soccer)
Essays and recommendations: 9/10 (or that’s what I think)
I think I was rejected because I’m an international student needing a lot of aid. This probably means rejection at Brown and Vanderbilt too. I guess I should have aimed lower.
My Son applied RD due to Ivy restrictions on EA, but a few weeks ago was offered to move into EAII to get quicker action, which he took (Ivy deferral already in). Just got notice he was accepted last night, with Murchison scholarship and will compete for Tower full ride on March 4th. It is on his short list and with merit $ is within reach for us. Very proud of him.

Good luck everyone!
@ATXDAD15 - congratulations and good luck with Tower. What are the other schools your child is considering?
Accepted with a Trustee (84K) Scholarship
Top 10% (at the time of application)
weighted GPA: 4.08
SAT: 1340
Essay: 7/10
Btw, did anyone else received a (kind of) personalized handwritten letter? 
@ACT2017 - he’s applied to quite a few, because many are extremely competitive, so you never know - top of the list is NW, WashU, Tuft’s, Emory (and he applied EA to Harvard and is deferred for now)
@potatotush - yes, he received a nice personal letter that made reference to several specifics on his app - we were all very impressed and I would say that for many reasons Trinity would be an excellent fit for him.
Only concerns are size - it is really small - anyone have experience with that sized school?
