Duke Pratt versus Trinity

Applying to College
1

<p>I know that there have been several posts on this, but I'm yet confused.</p>

<p>I am an international freshman applicant for Fall 2014 (Computer Science). I do not have straight A's. My SAT score is 2240 (CR/M/W:700/800/740). My SAT Subject Tests are in Physics (790), Chemistry (800) and Mathematics (800). My extra curricular activities are geared more towards Computer Science. </p>

<p>Should I apply to Pratt or Trinity? I really want to take classes outside of Computer Science in college, which attracts me to Trinity. However, my profile mainly has Computer Science related activities. Is this a disadvantage for a Trinity applicant? </p>

<p>On the other hand, I have heard that Pratt is more statistics and score based, due to which I maybe at a disadvantage if I apply to Pratt since I do not have A's in Chemistry and English in grade 12 and my CR score is just within the range for Pratt. Is this true? </p>

<p>Thank you so much for your replies!</p>

<p>Why can’t you apply to both?</p>

3

<p>I could choose only one on the Common Application. Am I missing something here?</p>

<p>apply trinity</p>

5

<p>Any reasons?</p>

<p>You can’t apply to both. Computer Science is a major in Trinity. Computer Engineering is available in Pratt.</p>

<p>You don’t have a choice, CS isn’t offered in Pratt. So I guess that resolves your dilemma, haha. Unless you’re considering Comp Eng. In that case, go through this:</p>

<p>Oh, then I’m surely applying to Trinity. Thank you so much, everyone!</p>
