Admission

Caleb Hoereth ’24 discovered his professional goals after multiple internships, clubs, and four years as a varsity soccer player.

Izzy George ’24 wanted a small college that was not too far from home, but also not too close. She wanted to take a wide variety of classes. Grinnell hit the sweet spot.

At Grinnell, Spencer Clark ’23 found a group of incredible people waiting for him. With them, he swam competitively, studied abroad in London, and explored his passions.

Grinnell’s 3-2 partnerships grant students their B.A., B.S., and an engineering education unlike any other.

The familiar hum of eager conversations and the laughter of old friends reuniting blended harmoniously with the cadence of fresh voices, painting a vivid picture of a community where journeys converge, united by the pursuit of knowledge and a world of perspectives.

In Grinnell, excitement fills the air as the campus prepares to welcome the incoming class of 2027.

Smith, a proud Iowan, stood out among a pool of over 13,000 students from around the world.

The mission of The Opportunity Network is to ignite the drive, curiosity, and agency of underrepresented students on their paths to and through college and into thriving careers, powered by its commitment to access and community.

Grinnell College will welcome one of its most diverse, highly-qualified classes in history. This fall, the incoming first-year class of 441 new students will join an already outstanding student body attracted by the College’s outstanding academic reputation, individually advised curriculum, and opportunities to gain knowledge and experience both in and outside of the classroom.

For the 2020-21 admission cycle Grinnell College will adopt a test optional admission policy.
