Hi, I am currently a High school student and I’m looking at Dickinson. I did one of those here’s my criteria and match me with a college thing to find Dickinson. I was wondering if 1) what my chance of getting in with a 3.3 GPA from a top HS in the state 2) is Greek life really big there? I would prefer one that doesn’t have Greek life but as long as it’s not the only social thing on campus i’m fine and 3) is it liberal or conservative.
Thanks!
My D graduated from Dickinson. A 3.3 is going to be in the low end. You would likely need strong test scores or a hook to offset it. So I’d consider it a reach. My D did not participate in Greek life, and had a great experience. She had a lot of friends and activities without participating in Greek life. Like most LACs, it leans liberal.
I’m currently a sophomore at Dickinson. Your gpa does seem a little low compared to what I’ve seen from most people I know, but who knows what they do in admissions. Greek life is fairly big, especially for the weekend party scene. You can, however, find other parties from clubs, sports teams, etc. As far at the political climate, I’d say 65-75% are liberal and the rest are conservative. Definitely most students are liberal, but there is a active republican club and a trump base.
