The 2024-25 Common Data Set for Colorado College — admissions, cost, and aid, as the school published them. Download the original file. This archive discovered the file on Apr 19, 2026. The school did not send Last-Modified and the file has no embedded date. Subscribe via RSS.
In its 2024-25 report, Colorado College says 8,511 first-year students applied and 1,572 were admitted, an acceptance rate of 18%. 476 admitted students enrolled (30% yield). Enrolled students who sent scores had a middle-50% SAT of 1240–1440 and ACT of 29–33. Early decision: 292 of 918 applicants admitted (32%). Waitlist: 696 offered a spot, 140 accepted one, and 32 admitted from it.

Exact admission data
| Path | Applicants | Admitted | Admit rate | Class seats | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Decision | 918 | 292 | 32% | 292 | Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll. |
| All other rounds | 7,593 | 1,280 | 17% | 184 | All other rounds are residual CDS totals, not exact Regular Decision. |
Class-seat estimate assumes ED admits enroll. CDS does not report confirmed ED enrollment, so likely ED class seats are calculated as the smaller of ED admits and enrolled first-years.
Overall yield: 30%. Published yield blends high-commitment ED admits with the rest of the admitted pool.
Read the ED rate carefully. Published ED rates can include recruited athletes, legacy applicants, and institutional-priority applicants. The general-pool ED rate can be lower.
