SAT II: Math IIC 690, US History 750, Writing 770

<p>Summer,</p>

<p>Are you applying to Trinity? You have an excellent profile, great class rank, top scores, fair ECs. </p>

<p>Of course its only a guess, but I'd say 70% chance of acceptance.</p>

<p>Yes, I'm applying to Trinity. I spend a lot of my time with softball (20+ hours per week in summer, 15 in fall, 5-8 in winter, tournaments all over the country, etc.) and I'm hoping that comes across as a strong EC.</p>

<p>Thanks bsbllallstr and SAMMIE!</p>

<p>Haha bsbllallstr... ;)</p>

<p>My fall season just ended but next week we're going to Florida for a tournament, which should be nice.</p>

<p>Besides fallball I lift during the fall and winter... when I first started playing, my arms were like sticks. I was so weak, it was pathetic. Now that I've been going to the gym for a couple years, I'm a lot stronger. Not exactly jacked though. :)</p>
