Editor's notes
- Colby has no supplements and no interview, so your Common App essay and your teacher letters carry the personal side of your file. Choose teachers who can describe how you think in class, not just your grade.
- There's no application fee and no supplement, which makes Colby easy to add. Don't add it carelessly. Both ED rounds are binding, and ED II (Jan. 4) is the same commitment with more time.
