Colby College average SAT?

Hi everyone! I'm really interested in applying to Colby College but I'm not sure where I stand with my SAT scores. Can anyone tell me the average SAT score for admitted students? Thanks in advance!

Hello! Colby College's reported middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students are typically between 1470 and 1530. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1470, another 25% scored above 1530, and the remaining 50% scored within this range. If your SAT score falls within this range, you'll be in line with the majority of accepted students.

It is worth noting that Colby is officially operating under a test-optional policy, so submitting an SAT score is actually not required. However, Colby is quite selective, so you're smart to be thinking about a target range, as including a test score with your application is still a good idea for many students. To learn more about test-optional policies and how to navigate them, I'd check out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/does-test-optional-mean-test-optional

Keep in mind, though, that test scores are just one aspect of the application, and Colby College considers various factors like your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, and essays as well.
