[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s all about ED2. Everyone I know who has gone and especially this year are those who didn’t get into Bowdoin or Middlebury in ED1. Still selective, but a back up for the more selective. [/quote]

Or got in RD and went because were shut out of T30sunis/T15LACs  in RD. [/quote]

Yeah.. I know a few kids who didn't got into any T21 LACs in RD. such as Haverford, Colgate, Carleton.. but got into Colby. I don't know what algorithm Colby uses.

Also, Colby doesn't publish CDS so we dont know how many internationals? [/quote]

10% of the class of 2027 was international. They release these stats every year on their website.

The question is not what percentage of enrolled students are international, but rather  how many applicants. I’d guess 40-50%, but we’ll never know because Colby will never tell us.[/quote]

CDS does not disclose number of international applicants. So this is a bizarre criticism of Colby.

Your logic is as follows: “Colby does not publish a CDS and therefore does not disclose number of international applicants. Hence Colby is hiding the fact that 40-50% of their applicants are international.”

Even if a school has a CDS they are not disclosing the number of international applicants in their CDS. Do you also believe that every single other college who publishes a CDS is hiding the fact that their international applicants are in the 40-50% range? If not, why?[/quote]
