Admission to Dartmouth College is highly selective. The competition is a function of both the number of applicants as well as their outstanding credentials. There is no set formula or prescription for admission, however. We consider the range of different opportunities and educational experiences of our applicants to be a strength, and therefore take an open-minded and flexible approach to our review process. An understanding of the applicant's academic background is supplemented by essays, recommendations, and interviews. Dartmouth does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or status as a disabled or Vietnam-era veteran, and students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
We encourage all applicants to review the Application Components and Fine Print sections to gain a more complete understanding of what is required of applicants to Dartmouth and the policies which govern our admissions process.
