Does Dartmouth practice need-blind admissions?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if Dartmouth practices need-blind admissions for all applicants, including international students? I don't want my financial situation to be a barrier. Thanks for your help!

Hey there! Yes, Dartmouth does practice need-blind admissions, but it's important to make a distinction between domestic and international applicants. For domestic applicants, Dartmouth is indeed need-blind, which means your financial situation won't be taken into account during the admissions process.

However, for international applicants, Dartmouth's policy is slightly different. Dartmouth practices need-aware admissions for international students, meaning that your financial need may be considered when admitting students from outside the United States. While Dartmouth is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for admitted international students, the resources for financial aid are limited, so the college might not be able to accept all students that require financial assistance.

That being said, don't let this discourage you from applying! If you have a strong application and can demonstrate your financial need, you could still be admitted and receive the necessary financial aid. Best of luck in your college application journey!
