Bowdoin vs. Bates vs. Colby

<p>Ha, way to try to inflate your statistics in defense of things. I will, as the mighty polar bear, stomp on your mule turd by actually citing statistics.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>During the past decade, the medical school acceptance rate for Colby students has been about 75%.

<li><p>The acceptance rate of those who applied through Bowdoin to enter medical school in 2001-2008 has averaged 86%.<br>

</ol>

<p>So Bowdoin is superior in terms of med school placement. I’m really not sure where you get your statistics from. Maybe from that imagination that somehow believes that Mules can match up against Polar Bears. </p>

<p>Now I’m sure there are some very smart people at Colby. But I’m also sure there are lots of people who could defend your institution better than you are doing, Mule sir.</p>

<p>Also, from collegeboard:</p>

<p>So somehow, more Bowdoin people submit SAT scores than Colby? (75% to 65%) And yet Bowdoin has vastly higher scores across the subjects. </p>

<p>Mule sir, please work hard on that undergraduate degree. You’re not quite ready to play with the big boys yet.</p>

<p>BOO YAH</p>

<p>bring it.</p>
