<p>After I visited Trinity College a couple weeks ago, I realized it was the exact type of school I want to attend. I just have a few quick questions though. I know there are two early decisions available, but are the chances of me getting in better if I apply during the first early action rather than the second one? Also, I was wondering if my profile is up to Trinity rigor and standards.</p>
