Applying to grad school?

You're about to write the most important proposal of your life. Here's everything Dartmouth gives you to make it happen — research databases that cost thousands, writing tools the pros use, and support when the stress hits.

What you'll find here

  • Research databases — JSTOR, ProQuest dissertations, Web of Science. The same tools researchers at top institutions use.
  • Writing tools — Overleaf for LaTeX (if you're in STEM), O'Reilly for technical documentation.
  • Mental health support — Free counseling sessions. Grad apps are stressful. Use them.
