Where can I find Dartmouth acceptance rate by year in one place?

I’m a junior trying to understand how Dartmouth admissions has changed over time, and I keep finding random numbers from different websites. I want to compare the acceptance rate by year without piecing it together from a bunch of sources.

I’m not looking for predictions, just a reliable way to see the historical rates in one place.

The most reliable single place to see Dartmouth’s acceptance rate over time is Dartmouth’s Common Data Set archive and admissions-related institutional reports. The Common Data Set for each year includes applicants and admits, which lets you verify the acceptance rate directly from Dartmouth’s own data.

A practical way to do this is to search “Dartmouth Common Data Set” and open the official Dartmouth pages for multiple years. In section C of each CDS, you’ll usually find the total number of applicants and total number admitted, and you can compare year by year from there. That is more trustworthy than third-party sites because the numbers come from Dartmouth itself.

If you want a quicker one-page summary, Dartmouth’s admissions news releases sometimes publish the admit rate for a specific cycle, especially for Regular Decision or the full Class profile. Those are useful, but they are less consistent than the CDS if you want a long historical timeline.
