<p>You have a great combination of talents and interests which make you stand out. Colby does have a healthy number of Indian nationals in its ranks, and a higher percentage of internationals than most top LACs.
Your SATs are perhaps a little on the low side but certainly in the range.<br>
Best of luck!</p>

3

<p>all your stats are good. however you could have gone for the ACT after spoiling your SATs.
Hope for your better luck after dartmouth.</p>

4

<p>ajayc, there is more to admissions than SATs, Colby looks at a great deal more than that, thankfully. So don't fret, your scores are in the range.</p>

<p>Thank you for your feedback! I need something close to a full-ride. And from what I've heard its going to be really tough... :(</p>

<p>But I absolutely love the school! I am still going to do ED II! :)</p>

6

<p>Goood luck! I'm applying ED II and also hate standardized tests...From what I've heard from Admissions reps they think the standardized test scores requirement at Colby will disappear within the next 5 or so years, so I think they're veering away from looking so much at scores. Maybe we'll see each other next year!</p>

<p>I didn't do ED II but yeah RD!</p>

<p>Did ya make it Gib0?</p>

<p>Nope I got deferred. We'll see in April.</p>
