Dartmouth Application Masterclass

Big Ambitions. Small College. Your Dartmouth Story.

Dartmouth combines the resources of a major research university with the close-knit community of a liberal arts college.

Your application is an opportunity to show more than academic achievement. Dartmouth wants to understand your intellectual interests, personal experiences, values, and the perspective you'll bring to its community.

Learn how to approach Dartmouth's supplemental essays with strategy, specificity, and your authentic voice.
