Based on standardized scoring alone, Trinity may slot in after Denison and Dickinson. However, Trinity had not been SAT optional, and this would have deflated their relative placement. So, pretty close either way.

@merc81 Good point; it will be interesting to see Trinity’s scores this year since they went test-optional for Fall 2016.
@usualhopeful : Should you be interested, based on a few assumptions and a little math, entirely test optional schools may report scores (CR + M) ~50 points higher than “true.” Test flexible schools may report scores ~20 points higher.
OP: You can use this estimate when comparing your own scores to the averages at your colleges of interest.
@merc81 thank you for that, and everyone who has been responding
