I mean, the decision doesn’t just weigh on test scores, and you didn’t provide other parts of your app that would contribute to the holistic process, but your test scores seem to be fine, the range is 1440-1570, which you fall in. :slight_smile: But we can only speculate, we aren’t the admissions officers.

Holy cow your grades are amazing… not a chance, but I’m starstruck.

Its hard to say. Scores and grades are not everything. Need more info:

What were your scores on the AP tests?
Which part of the country are you applying from?
Which major are you applying to?
Trinity or Pratt?
Are you an under-represented minority?
What ECs do you have?

AP tests were all 4s and 5s, I’m applying to Trinity for statistical science, I’m from a public school in Massachusetts, I have done cross country, mock trial, math team, volunteer at local homecare service, class secretary, NHS, and others (nothing special).

Your grades look excellent. However I think you have picked up on the fact that your test scores are on the low end.

So low in fact, that it would place you at about the 15th percentile. Now they certainly take lots of kids with scores in this range, but it’s usually for a specific reason: athlete, URM.

I think it’s going to be tough. Why not retake the tests?
