What courses should I take in high school?
Dartmouth has no specific subject requirements for prospective students. We do,
however, encourage students to undertake the strongest course of study
available at their secondary schools. Most applicants present very strong
secondary school transcripts that include:
Four years of English
Four years of mathematics (usually through calculus)
Three years of social science
Three years of laboratory science
And at least three years of a foreign language
We recognize that not all high schools offer the same opportunities and we
do take into consideration a student’s academic environment. While we have no
minimum grade point average or class rank required for consideration,
approximately 90% of admitted students rank in the top ten percent of their
graduating class.
