How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Connecticut College admits about 37.0% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,350 and 1,500, and ACT scores typically fall between 30 and 33. Among enrolled undergraduates, 14.2% receive Pell Grants and 14.0% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is modest, at 2.2%. Azimuth ranks Connecticut College #1131 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects a selective admissions process paired with a relatively modest share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students. The six-year graduation rate stands at 82.0%, with first-year retention at 89.7%. Azimuth ranks Connecticut College #1033 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $52,600 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 78.6 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern reflects Connecticut College's selective profile: low-income students who gain admission complete at solid rates and achieve competitive post-graduation outcomes, though the institution's more limited access scale means fewer students from low-income backgrounds benefit from that pathway overall.
