<p>Hi,I think you got pretty good stats. Only one thing: are you sure trinity is the place you want to go(cuz you seem to be going to major in science)? As a liberal arts college, trinity might not have the science resource you want… are you apply to other big research universities at the same time?</p>

3

<p>You must be joking . Trinity has an engineering program! That’s more than I can say for most liberal arts schools, and it is also very generous. Although I have heard that the Physics program is not very good.</p>

4

<p>Trinity has a good science and engineering program!Go to their website and read about their ISP(interdiscplinary science program)!It is the sole reason that I have applied to this school!</p>
