Hello, I've been considering applying to Dartmouth College, but I'm unsure if my GPA meets their expectations. Can someone provide some info or a range about the typical GPA for admitted Dartmouth students? Thanks in advance!
Sure, I can help with that! Typically, Dartmouth College goes for students who have near perfect GPAs. The average high school GPA for admitted students at Dartmouth is around 4.1 on a 4.0 scale, indicating that primarily straight A students are accepted and ultimately attend. This is indeed a very high benchmark, but remember that Dartmouth takes a holistic approach to admissions and this is just the academic part of the profile. If your GPA is slightly lower, you should focus on other aspects such as your extracurriculars, essays, and recommendations in your application. That being said, the higher the GPA, the stronger the application! Good luck with your college application process.
