<p>I’ll post one more then stop. Salifish is right. They are both great schools and people are lucky to attend either of them. Also, the career center statistic was in a recent press release by Colby, the one on the website must not be updated.</p>
<p>From the Colby website:
For the Class of 2014
700/700/700 median SAT critical reading/math/writing</p>
<p>Also, those who don’t submit SAT scores at Colby submit ACT scores, as Colby is not test optional. The statistic you provided for Bowdoin is total number of students that submitted scores, period. So, Colby reports all scores, while Bowdoin only reports whatever percentage of scores you wrote previously. So while Colby counts all the scores for everyone we accept (legacies, recruited athletes, etc), Bowdoin does not typically receive the lower scores because they are test optional. It’s like comparing apples to oranges.</p>
<p>Again, I think both schools are great and this is a fruitless thread.</p>
