[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD applied to Colby only because it had no application fee or supplemental essays.  Turns out, it's the highest ranked school she has gotten into (we had no idea it was 15th in liberal arts schools) and she is now seriously considering the possibility of going there. My husband and I both went to big state schools in the Midwest. We have not spent much time in the Northeast and know almost nothing about the LACs in the area. What is Colby like for an outgoing, social teenager?  Are the academics challenging?  What about job placements? The latter is important to us because we have spent decades saving for our DD's college. [b]We make too much to receive financial aid but are not wealthy enough to not feel the pinch of paying full tuition.[/b]  Do Colby graduates get into good graduate schools (DD is interested in business or law school).

Thanks for your insights.[/quote]

My Junior DC is interested in Colby.  Based on our research, it is a great school and students are friendly.  Can you share your DD's (approximate) GPA and SAT/ACT?  Also, at what income you will not receive FA at Colby?  Thanks.[/quote]
