The required additional application materials, beyond the Common Application, for undergraduate admission to Dartmouth College for the 2024-2025 academic year are designed to provide the admissions committee with a holistic view of each candidate. These materials typically include essays, short answer responses, and potentially other specific requirements intended to assess a candidate’s unique qualifications, experiences, and fit for the institution.
These supplemental components are crucial in the evaluation process, offering a deeper understanding of an applicant’s intellectual curiosity, writing ability, values, and perspectives. The content often allows applicants to demonstrate their alignment with the institution’s mission and culture, as well as highlight aspects of their background not fully captured in transcripts or standardized test scores. Historically, these supplements have evolved to reflect the institution’s commitment to a diverse and engaged student body.
