Academic performance is obviously an important factor. That said, Trinity places a premium on student experience, character, leadership, communication skills, drive, and passion, recognizing that sometimes grades don’t paint the entire picture, especially grades far in the past. While GPA plays a major part in student selection criteria, we consider trajectory and consistency of grades and examine an applicant’s BCPM (Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math) GPA independently of other course work. We are also open to explanations of context and a clear narrative of personal growth.
The reality is, the best doctors aren’t always the best university freshmen. We understand. We think of Trinity as an opportunity to show yourself, and the world, just how great you can be in a focused, supportive environment.
