 Dartmouth is dedicated
to creating a community of individuals with diverse perspectives, backgrounds,
and experiences. To this end, Dartmouth enrolls students from over 70 different
countries throughout the world.
As a result of the impressive accomplishments of students in our
international applicant pool, admission is highly competitive. Many qualified
students are denied admission.
In evaluating the records of international applicants, the Admissions
Committee seeks to admit those students whose scholastic and personal records
suggest that they can successfully complete the academic work of the College
and add significantly to the quality of campus life. Evidence of intellectual
capacity, motivation, and personal integrity are of great importance in the
selection process.
Primary emphasis is placed on school transcript(s), personal statements, and
recommendations from your teachers and advisors.
The Admissions Committee also looks for evidence of such qualities as
creativity, tenacity, intellectual curiosity, and independent thinking. Your
school record, extracurricular interests, and work experience also are
considered. Personal qualities such as leadership, energy, enthusiasm,
motivation, and a sense of responsibility are important in the decision making
process.
Dartmouth provides financial aid to all admitted students who demonstrate
financial need and will meet 100% of that demonstrated need. Beginning with the
Class of 2012, the College is need-blind for all applicants, regardless of an
applicant's country of residence or citizenship. Non-US students interested in
applying for Financial Aid should be aware of the procedures

International students currently attending a college or university may apply
for transfer
admission. If you are an international student who has finished an
undergraduate degree, you may not apply to our undergraduate programs, but are
welcome to apply to our graduate
programs.
Most questions about applying as an International Student are answered on
the Frequently Asked
Questions page.
