Test policy

Test required Applicants must send an SAT or ACT score.

Dartmouth requires SAT or ACT results from applicants attending high schools in the U.S. (reactivated beginning with the Class of 2029); applicants from schools outside the U.S. may instead meet the requirement with three AP exams or predicted/final IB, A-Level or equivalent national exam results. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
