Our admissions committee reviews each application individually and looks forward to getting to know you!

A Dickinson education is useful in the ways that matter most. Our students leave Dickinson with an education that translates into a competitive edge and a mandate to lead and make a difference. In fact, 95% of graduates are in a job, internship, grad school or pursuing meaningful service one year after graduation. 92% of those who applied were admitted to medical school and 96% to law school. Dickinson is also a top Fulbright and Peace Corps producer.
Our campus is historic, cutting edge and truly beautiful. Whether you explore it in-person or through our many virtual-visit options, we want to share the warm and welcoming Dickinson community with you and introduce you to our bright, excited students working collaboratively with our amazing faculty. See for yourself!
"One thing that I owe to Dickinson is what I would call a 'leader' mentality–as Dickinsonians, we want to positively influence the world through actively thinking, learning and doing, rather than following what is handed down to us. We are not afraid of change and the unknown but rather cherish it."
