Class Profile

Class ProfileDartmouth strongly supports a diverse and pluralistic community as an educational benefit to all students. We welcome applicants who might add to the mosaic of our student body. As a result of this commitment, Dartmouth students come from all 50 states and more than 41 countries. The population is divided roughly evenly between men and women. Nearly a third of the students identify themselves as students of color or non-US citizens. Almost half of students receive some form of need-based financial assistance to cover the cost of their education. Prior to Dartmouth, roughly 2/3 of the students attended public secondary schools and 1/3 attended private or parochial schools.
