Colby College


Colby is the next liberal arts school  I am looking at.   Colby is located in  Waterville, Maine.
 Along with two other Maine based colleges -  Bates College and  Bowdoin College - it forms the unofficial Colby-Bates-Bowdoin or CBB consortium.
 The three schools compete in athletic events  and make use of  each others' faculty and library resources
The CBB competition often draws comparisons to the football games of the Big Three of the Ivy League, with Bowdoin often drawing the connection to Harvard, Bates to Princeton, and Colby to Yale.[14] Just as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are initialized as HYP, so too are Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin as CBB

Colby is a  highly reputed liberal arts school  often ranking amongst the top 10.Admission is highly competitive with admission rates below 20%. Colby recently  dropped the supplemental essay requirement  and has seen application numbers increase.
