[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Middlebury and Colby are amazing and incredibly hard to get into. [b]So many folks here know nothing about LACs. Colby is actually harder to get into than Middlebury. [/b]My DS found them to be too remote, but thought they were great schools.[/quote]

Appreciate your honesty, but you lost credibility by claiming that "Colby is [b]actually[/b] harder to get into than Middlebury".

Colby College plays games regarding admissions. I suspect that one who has offers from both schools would select Middlebury.[/quote]

Ignorance is bliss -- the numbers don't lie:
https://www.prwadmissions.com/blog/colby-admits-most-diverse-and-academically-talented-class-of-2027-with-6-acceptance-rate
https://www.middlebury.edu/announcements/announcements/2023/06/middlebury-college-will-continue-test-optional-policy-admissions

6% admit rate at Colby vs 11% at Middlebury. So much for your credibility. Pro tip... look at the data before calling folks out.

Colby and Middlebury do not have supplemental essays. Colby has no application fee vs Middlebury's $65 fee. Both are playing games with ED1, ED2 and no essays. [/quote]

This. The Colby boosters here are hilarious. It's competitive to get into, yes. But to think that in any way shape or form it is as competitive as Middlebury is laughable. They have no fee and the application and is a breeze. My kid threw an app in at Colby at the last minute because, why not? There's just not a comparison. Colby is lovely, but it's not Midd. And I have no relation to either, my kid is going to Georgetown.[/quote]
