<p>Does being in-state help your chances at all for Colby? I've heard it does.</p>
<p>Don't have the stats, but on Colby's Common Data Set, "State Residency" is "considered" in the admissions process. Anectodal evidence: S is a freshman and most of his friends are from Maine (he's not).</p>
<p>I read somewhere that 70% of Colby's applications come from Massachusetts. With such a small freshman class, there would be a definite DIS-advantage if you lived in MA!!</p>
