Admission to Grinnell is highly selective, and our students come from many different backgrounds. While no single factor guarantees admission, there are some undeniably Grinnellian characteristics that will help you stand out from the rest. For example, showing that you’ve taken a challenging and balanced high school curriculum, that you’re ready to explore the world and contribute to the greater good, and that you’re eager to find your place in a supportive, inspiring community.

Going to college is more than just classes and studying. You’ll try new things and delve deeper into your current interests. You’ll meet people who will become your friends and mentors for life. You’ll walk on the prairie, bike the country roads, grab a coffee downtown, hang out with your friends, and dream about your future. For four years, you’ll live here. And although the story is different for every Grinnellian, there’s only one way to find out how your story unfolds — by coming to campus.
I’ve never been anywhere else where I’ve felt so instantly welcomed and included — nowhere else where I made friends so fast.
