[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middlebury is not much easier to get into than Bowdoin. The stats of their incoming classes are quite similar, with the slight edge to Bowdoin. Midd has a higher acceptance rate because they have an additional 200 seats to fill per class.

Because Midd fills such a large percentage of their class in the ED rounds, I'd say in RD, Middlebury is the tougher admit.  [/quote]

Higher acceptance rate = easier to get into [/quote]

Okay, by this metric alone, Colby is harder to get into than Bowdoin, Williams, Amherst, and Swarthmore. I think you also need to also take other factors into account, like who is applying and the strength of the incoming class. [/quote]

Colby has one of the highest ED admit rates among selective LACS. Anyone in the know understands they should apply early if it's a top pick. A small school that fills many of its seats early will end up with a low RD admit rate. Plus it's a free application with no supplements, which results in a large number of applicants RD.[/quote]
