<p>again, isn't it really cool that Penn is the only Ivy with a true business school?</p>
<p>let's take dartmouth out of the equation because we're "biased"</p>
<p>would you hire a harvard econ grad or a UVA McIntyre grad?</p>
<p>Cornell (an Ivy League school) also has a highly-ranked undergraduate business school.</p>
<p>uh, the following are the list of seven schools of Cornell:</p>
<p>College of Agriculture and Life Sciences*
College of Architecture, Art, and Planning
The College of Arts and Sciences
College of Engineering
School of Hotel Administration
College of Human Ecology*
School of Industrial and Labor Relations*</p>
<p>of course, there are academic programs within these schools that resemble business programs, and maybe youre even referring to SHA. but these are hardly a "business school" that teaches "business".</p>
<p>There is Cornell AEM.</p>
<p>It's not an undergrad business school such as Wharton persay, but it is an undergrad business degree and you have to apply seperately for that degree. (Applied Economics and Management). It's part of the CALS I think. </p>
<p>It is not an undergrad b-school, but it is an undergrad business program. It was ranked in the top 15 in usnews, im not sure where exactly.</p>
<p>LOL! I really tried to stay away from this thread so as to not be dragged back in. Im surprised its still on the top page of the Dartmouth threads. </p>
<p>Guys, there is no need to prove that one school wins over another because no one loses w/ an education received at either Dartmouth or UVa. </p>
<p>Megagear, in defense of McIntire, your elite college admissions reasoning is faulty when it comes to judging whether a school is better or not in business. Many McIntire students have multiple job offers, and many pick non-elite firms because of a host of reasons including geographic location and because non-elite firms may offer better deals than elite firms in order to woo the best students. (Personally, I think most students would just be happy to have a great paying job when they graduate - from an "elite" company or not.) </p>
<p>More to the point, just because only 2 McIntire students ended up working for an "elite" firm like Goldman Sachs does it mean that Goldman Sachs doesnt think highly of UVa. What if a company like Barclays Capital was able to woo away a potential applicant from Goldman? Furthermore, Goldman Sachs (along with JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, etc.) are among McIntires Partners, Sponsors, and Investors. I highly doubt corporations that are based on making sound investments would invest/sponsor/donate money to a school that they didnt highly regard and respect.</p>
<p>Wow...you guys are awesome lol. 5 pages!</p>
<p>But here's the thing. I've committed to Dartmouth as I stated a few pages back.</p>
<p>I recently found out that I got into Duke off the waitlist...I favor the weather there much more highly over Dartmouth's (I function better in warmer weather). This seems like a minor factor, but it does have an impact.</p>
<p>So I ask you again...Convince me to go to Dartmouth over Duke, keeping in mind I could see myself as a stock broker or something similar.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>I'd still go to Dartmouth over Duke in a heartbeat. Duke has better weather, but Dartmouth has many aspects that make it stand out from every other school including Duke. Its much more tightknit, more LACish (more undergrad focus), and has aspects like sophomore summer and amazing study abroad. Both will get you the same internships (and job) in the end, but I think you'll appreciate your Dartmouth experience more.</p>
<p>Flipperbw - the question of Dartmouth or Duke is more of a personal choice as to what atmosphere you want to be in and not one so much of academics. They are both highly rated schools and you will probably have similar opportunities graduating from each one. So which has the atmosphere you would rather be in. Duke is in a small city, whereas Hanover is just a small town. But Duke is in a city that doesn't really have much to offer as big cities go, and as I understand from alumni, the city is way overrated and the students don't go off campus much. When they want to travel they actually go pretty far from the campus. And there is very little to do within walking distance. And as we all know now, there are problems between the school and the community. Dartmouth is a much smaller school, in a much smaller place. But there is a fair amount within walking distance (or at least much more than you would expect given the size of the town), the school has a fairly good rapport with the community, and the area is extremely safe.
Everything on the Dartmouth campus is within walking distance (except the ski slope!). At Duke freshmen live in a different area and you have to take a shuttle bus back and forth to the dorms. You may see that as a positive or a negative.
Duke is warmer, and at Dartmouth you can learn to ski for PE credit.
Duke has bigger sports than Dartmouth.
You need to decide which is the better atmosphere for you.</p>
<p>as for D vs. Duke, it's hard to say choose one over the other (actually, it's not. choose Dartmouth).</p>
<p>But in all seriousness. Weather can be a HUGE factor of your "college experience". so is atmosphere. D might be the best school in the world but if the weather and **** kills you, then you are gonna hate it.</p>
