<p>So recently I stumbled upon Trinity College - Dublin and immediately fell in love with just everything about the college and what it has to offer, and that's very rare. As I looked more into it, I feel like the requirements for a prospective American student is very...bland, for lack of a better word, and I was wondering if anybody else on here who has been accepted into Trinity that could share their grades, scores, etc. to help me get a better understanding of what they're looking for?</p>
<p>ALSO, on their application it has a block for third level education, which for the US would be the college level...what if you haven't even graduated high school yet when you apply for Trinity...? Is that not what they're looking for then?</p>
<p>As for my stats, currently I'm at a 3.7 GPA (weighted), 2 AP courses, the rest honors, except math, 1900 SAT scores...do I have any inkling of a shot? </p>
<p>Do you know of any other universities in Ireland that offer political science?</p>
<p>Sorry guys, I know that was a lot...but any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Hey I just got accepted in December… here are my stats:
4.1 GPA (weighted)
2100 SAT
33 ACT
4 AP tests taken (4’s on 3 of them, 5 on the other)</p>
<p>As for the third levels question, that part of the application does not need to be filled out. I would also highly suggest e-mailing the international office at Trinity if you have any more questions because they are really helpful and made the process much easier!</p>
<p>Oh geez, looks like i’ve got some work to do…haha, but thanks so much for replying and for the advice, I had heard the best thing to do was just email the international office of any college I plan to apply for over-seas. Did you decide to actually attend Trinity?</p>
<p>Irish, like British, universities focus on “examination” results, i.e. APs, IBs etc. Extracurriculars etc do not matter. </p>
<p>The big question is why do you want to go to university overseas? Yes, it is exciting and exotic but the reality is that you will not be allowed to stay or work over here once you have graduated, and Americans employers do not recruit over here. So you will find things tougher going back, unless you go to graduate school. I tell students to think very carefully. For 99% of candidates, it is better to wait and student overseas as a graduate student.</p>
<p>How much elective time, if any, is allowed for first year students in a Two Subject Moderateship at Trinity? What percentage of the first year class is international? What percentage of the first year class is American?</p>
