How to read these numbers
- The 2025 rate covers Colorado College's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
- 1240–1430 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1240, and a quarter scored above 1430.
- The table above holds 13 reported years, 2013 through 2025. Across them Colorado College's rate ranged from 13.5% to 22.3%, so any single year is one point inside that range.
Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
