An Overview of Colby Admissions to
Health Professional Schools
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%.
