<p>This is stupid, but I’ll play along anyway.</p>
<p>If we look at statistics, your claims can’t possibly be true.</p>
<p>Colby’s average SAT for accepted students last year was 700/700/700, while Bowdoin’s was 700/710/710. A whopping 20 point difference in average SAT scores does not qualify as a “large” difference. Also, Bowdoin is test option and Colby is not. Therefore, Bowdoin’s average scores are somewhat inflated because those who apply with low score don’t submit them.</p>
<p>If we look at percent in top 10 percent of a class, the difference between Colby and Bowdoin is 6%, Colby having 79% in top 10 and Bowdoin having 85% in top ten.</p>
<p>I apprecate that Bowdoin’s acceptance rate is lower than Colby’s, but the class profiles are very similar. </p>
<p>If you look at percent accepted to medical school, Colby has an 85% acceptance rate and Bowdoin has an 80% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I appreciate the school rivalry, but don’t be petty.</p>
