    What the numbers say about Colorado College

    • The reported middle 50% spans 230 points, from 1230 to 1460. A planning score near or above 1500 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 18% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 88% completion rate and $65,222 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
