Trinity-Pawling: Test-Optional
Trinity-Pawling does not require applicants to submit standardized test scores in the admission process. For some students, we realize that standardized testing is a strength; therefore any student may still choose to submit their test scores as part of their application to Trinity-Pawling.All completed applications — whether they include standardized test scores or not — will be given full and equal consideration.
Please note: Students who do not identify English as their first language are still required to submit an English proficiency test, such as the TOEFL or Duolingo. Please read further for more information on these specific standardized tests.
If you have any questions regarding standardized testing and the application process at Trinity-Pawling, please reach out to admissions@trinitypawling.org and our team will be happy to assist.
