<p>Well, activity in this community is quite slow, and since nobody else posted it (probably cause it's wayyyy too early) I guess I will. </p>

<p>Feel free to post anything, from your grades/stats, how your Thanksgiving break went (just kidding), to how excited/worried you are about applying! Personally, I can't wait for Dec. 15th, can't wait to hear their decision, which hopefully, will be a favorable one! </p>

<p>Also, please do post when you get your acceptance letter, although we'll probably have to wait a few more weeks for that!</p>

<p>JuanChazo,</p>

<p>Trinity’s campus is absolutely beautiful. The Chapel alone in itself is magnificent, and the older buildings along Long Walk on campus are quite charming. What you do need to know is that the surrounding area is very poor, and as long as you ignore that, you will indeed be surrounded by beauty. Using Google Maps, you can get a sense of exactly how urbanized the area is surrounding the college:</p>

<p>[Google</a> Maps](<a href=“http://maps.google.com/]Google”>http://maps.google.com/)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, Google does not yet have Street View for this neighborhood, which would give you a better idea of the surrounding neighborhoods.</p>

<p>I personally love Trinity and the campus, although it is not in a great location, the college has great security. I have visited a few times and its absolutely beautiful!</p>

<p>Is anyone scared/nervous for the decision?</p>

<p>BamBam, do you mind posting stats as well?

<p>Hi. I am an international from Pakistan.
I have tons and tons of extra curriculars including some big ones like exchange programs to U.S and Taiwan. I worked really hard on my academics all year round because I knew how much GPA matters. My GPA is 3.99 as of now (no idea where the 0.01 went) and class grade is 2 out of 500 some students.
The problem is the SAT score of 1870. I am repapered buy that wouldn’t count for ED.
I love trinity and as of now that is my choice of course. Getting in would mean so much.
Also I am asking for A LOT of aid.</p>

<p>Where do you guys think I stand? Essay was good I think and my counsellor loves me and I heard she wrote a very long and awesome recommendation.</p>

18

<p>I live in northern Massachusetts as well</p>

19

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>Competitive high school
GPA: 3.6/4.1 weighted
SAT: 2010
350+ community service hours, great recs and essay
Also many EC’s</p>

<p>Are you requesting Financial AID? </p>

<p>What a coincidence, which high school?</p>

<p>Seems like a lot of students apply from our area.</p>
