Hello everyone! I've been researching Colby College and I'm planning to apply soon, but I'm a little unsure about their SAT requirements. What is the minimum SAT score I should aim for to increase my chances of admission? Thanks for your help!
Colby College is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, which means you are not required to submit an SAT score as part of your application. However, if you feel that your SAT score is a strong part of your academic profile, you can still choose to submit it.
If you decide to submit your SAT score, keep in mind that while there isn't a minimum required score, higher scores can improve your chances of admission. For the class of 2027, admitted students had an average SAT score between 1440-1530. This should give you a general idea of the score range for students admitted to Colby. However, remember that Colby has a holistic admissions process, so factors such as your GPA, extracurriculars, and essays will also be taken into consideration.
Since Colby College is test-optional, if you're not satisfied with your SAT score or feel it doesn't represent your academic potential, you can choose not to submit it, and instead, focus on making other aspects of your application more competitive. Good luck with your application!
