This includes students pursuing an associate's degree while finishing high school. Those who have completed high school and enrolled in college, even for one term or less, must apply as transfer applicants. Students who have completed two years or less of college coursework at the time of application are eligible to apply as transfer applicants. Students who have completed more than two years of college coursework or previously earned a bachelor's degree are not eligible for transfer or first-year admission to Dartmouth.
