CC SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1280–1460 (based on recent admissions data for the middle 50% of admitted students at Colorado College)
• Average Score: Approximately 1370, reflecting the competitive nature of CC's applicant pool
• 75th Percentile: Around 1460, meaning top applicants often score at or above this threshold

Key Points:

• SAT/ACT scores are optional at Colorado College, as CC adopted a test-optional policy in 2020, allowing students to decide whether to submit scores.
• When submitted, SAT scores are evaluated holistically, with no strict minimum threshold, focusing on overall academic and personal fit.
• Colorado College (CC) practices superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as strong AP or IB test results can bolster an application, especially for students opting out of SAT submission.
• For competitive applications, prospective students should aim for SAT scores near or above 1400 to align with the upper range of admitted students at CC.
