How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Dartmouth College admits about 5.4% of applicants. Among admitted students who submitted scores, the middle 50% scored between 1,500 and 1,570 on the SAT or between 33 and 35 on the ACT (interquartile range). Among enrolled undergraduates, 14.3% receive Pell Grants and 17.4% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is limited, at 2.6%. Azimuth ranks Dartmouth College #396 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. At a 5.4% admit rate, Dartmouth College's admission funnel is narrow, and the number of Pell-eligible and first-generation students it enrolls is limited relative to institutions that admit larger shares of their applicant pools. The graduation rate — what it doesn't count picture is strong: 95.5% of students complete within six years, and 89.4% of Pell-eligible students do the same — a meaningful signal that students who gain admission are well-supported through to degree completion. Azimuth ranks Dartmouth College #336 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $109,000 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 99.4 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The low-income cohort at Dartmouth College is comparatively small — 14.3% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants — so the median reflects outcomes for a narrower group of students rather than a population-wide pattern. The pattern that access and mobility data reveal is consistent with other highly selective institutions: low-income students who gain admission complete at high rates and reach earnings outcomes that rank among the strongest in the country, but the institution's admission scale limits how many students benefit from that pathway. Retention stands at 98.4%, reinforcing that students who enroll are supported through to graduation at an unusually high rate.
