Colby Graduate Admissions Statistics

Since the mid-1980's, the overall medical school acceptance rate for Colby         graduates has been consistently higher than the national average. Although         national acceptance rates have declined in recent years as more and more         students apply to medical school, Colby's rate has remained comparatively         high. During the past decade, the medical school acceptance rate for         Colby students has been about 75%. It is important to note that all         Colby students who choose to apply to professional school receive the         support of our committee, regardless of the relative strength or weakness         of their credentials, and that our acceptance rate is based on all Colby         students who apply.
       
        Colby premedical students who have been highly competitive by national         standards, i.e., those with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better along with         above-average MCAT scores, have been accepted at virtually a 100% rate,         the first time they applied. Moreover, many Colby alumni/ae who were not         successful as first time applicants (e.g., because of relatively low GPAs         and/or low MCAT scores and/or a lack of medically related experience)         have strengthened their credentials (e.g., by taking courses, earning         graduate degrees, retaking the MCAT after graduation, and/or working in         medical settings) and have been admitted to medical school at a high rate.
       
        The dental school acceptance rate during the past decade has been approximately         95%.
        The veterinary school acceptance rate during the past decade has been       about 84%.
