What are some Feeder schools into Dartmouth? |
This is something you can search up OP. A quick Google search tells me: Phillips Exeter, Phillips Andover, Hanover HS (public). I don't think DCUM is the place to look for this info. |
None in the DMV. |
Agree with this. Of all the Ivies, Dartmouth is by far the most under represented in the DMV schools. |
STA sent 3 last year class of 2023 and NCS sent one or two as well. Not sure about this year. |
Sidwell sends a couple of students to Dartmouth each year. There are 2 students going this year, and 2 went to Dartmouth last year. |
There's a town in Vermont where everyone gets free tuition to Dartmouth because of an old land grant arrangement. |
Best way to get in to Dartmouth is to be a legacy, the stats The NY Times released a few years ago showed them #1 in legacy preference. Sidwell won’t help as much as a Dartmouth mom or dad. |
I don’t know if that’s true or not. Either way, you have to be admitted first. |
Well, it appears that every year there are a couple of Sidwell students who have a Dartmouth mom and/or dad. On a related note, every year (based on recent memory) at least one Sidwell student has been admitted to every Ivy. Harvard, Yale, Penn, and Columbia seem to be perennial favorites. |

My favorite part of DCUM is stuff like this. Fascinating. |
I’m not sure they’re feeders for Dartmouth. According to 2024 IG posts, only 3 Phillips Exeter Academy seniors are attending Dartmouth in the fall. |
If you take the most rigorous classes and graduate top 3 at a DC Big3 you have a pretty darn high chance (close to 100%) at getting into Cornell or Dartmouth if you choose to apply. The other Ivies are bit less of a sure thing.
So really, there is a formula. You just have to be super smart to make it work. |
