The registrar told my friend who’s currently at Trinity that this year’s admissions average was 95%. That being said, this same friend has other friends at Trinity who were accepted with averages similar to yours. Definitely focus on your essay, since it does carry some weight.

I don’t know whether I’m going to commit to U of T, but I hope to see you there :slight_smile:

Hey guys, I don’t remember there being an EC section on the app. Did I brainfart and completely forget?

Yes, there’s two questions on the Trinity application. One is for explaining your extracurriculars.

I applied with an average of 94% in grade 11 in mid-December and got an offer near the end of January (which is weird considering the fact that I didn’t get the chance to include my grade 12 mark update). That being said, I feel like I’m an anchor to the school community now since I only have 1 EC (being a TA at my school).

I submitted my application on the last possible day (Feb. 1st) and was accepted on Feb. 11th! I really liked how my essays turned out, even though I wrote them the night before. My top 6 grade 12 courses average was 95%, but my overall average in grades 11 & 12 was around 92-93%. I think you have a good chance at being accepted, since you have really good test scores and they’re always looking for more diversity from international students. I heard U of T sends acceptances in waves, in February, March, and May, don’t worry if you haven’t gotten one yet. Good luck!
