Applying to Trinity probably as a Psych major, Any tips/suggestions? Thanks!

bump…also probably applying as an interested Neuroscience major at Trinity

Honestly you’re looking really good! There really isn’t anything to improve about your application at this point because hey, you’re already at the top!!! :slight_smile: The harsh truth of admissions at top 20 schools like Duke though is that they get so many applications even the best of the best don’t get admitted. But you’re stats and ECs and class rank are all really really good so I think you have a great shot!!! :slight_smile:

Be sure to nail those essays as a finishing touch. Good luck!

Stats look good. Will come down to your essay and who else is applying from your area. Which state are you from?

great stats! you have a very good chance.
