<p>harvard has law and yale has medical but what about dartmouth ??? any replies are appreciated</p>
<p>Yale is famous for law, btw.</p>
<p>And dartmouth doesn't have a famous grad school, its a very undergraduate focused school. I'm not sure about ranking, but I know that historically Dartmouth is considered an econ major school</p>
<p>i don't know about "famous," but it really seems like everyone is a Govy/Econ double.</p>
<p>thanck you also for those who didnt understand what i meant :</p>

<p><em>shrug</em> thanks for answering your own question</p>
<p>I think you have to figure out for yourself what would draw **you ** to Dartmouth and why it would be the right school for you.</p>
<p>Medicine and law aren't majors, they are graduate schools. Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business is ranked among the top 7 or 8 annually, but I think its pretty much irrelevant to Dartmouth College undergraduate students given how little grad schools have to do with undergrad.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is famous for being one of the best undergraduate focused schools in the world.</p>
<p>is dartmouth famous for engineering at all?</p>
<p>Amazing bump. You were only 23 days off of 4 years!</p>
<p>Wow, didn’t even notice it was a bump. I’m also curious about their engineering. Is Thayer any good?</p>
<p>Thayer is okay, but it’s not MIT. The Dartmouth name, though, will get you all the recruiting and job opportunities you could possibly want.</p>
<p>I know it’s “not MIT”, nothing else is. Probably not as difficult as MIT either (both getting in and staying in). I’m just wondering if Thayer provides a quality education with a better overall experience than MIT (or Cornell, etc.).</p>
<p>As an undergraduate, there’s a negligible difference between MIT, Stanford, Yale and Dartmouth engineering. On the graduate level, it’s a very different story, with MIT and Stanford blowing the other two out of the water.</p>
<p>I think the overall Dartmouth experience is better than that of MIT and Cornell, but others might disagree.</p>
<p>Dartmouth Forever and other posters,</p>
<p>Do you know if admission to Thayer means a student cannot also get a more well-rounded and liberal arts education at Dartmouth? Son wants science, econ as well as engineering!
Put another way, if you enroll in Thayer, can you also take Shakespeare?</p>
<p>Bristol: Not only can you, you pretty much have to. Thayer students are still required to fulfill the undergrad distrib requirements for Dartmouth. Also, engineering students can still double major etc… (though it is a bit more difficult). I personally know someone who just graduated as an engineering/ philosophy double major.</p>
<p>Engineering/philosophy? </p>
<p>I think, therefore I will build it.</p>
<p>Thanks, folks!</p>
<p>Dartmouth is looking pretty good. In that vein, do you believe that its (apparently) undifferentiated undergrad engineering program is well enough regarded by graduate engineering programs in specific engineering disciplines—such as chemical or mechanical, etc.-- so that a Dartmouth graduate can obtain admittance to a graduate engineering program?</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes. You’ll get all the experiences you need, including cutting-edge research, at Thayer.</p>
<p>DF, in case I didn’t thank you…thank you!
We now have the info we need to apply to Dartmouth. 
Thanks again!</p>
<p>Yes its incredible. I feel like 100% of my engineering friends who went to grad school wound up at places like Caltech, MIT, and Stanford. Its crazy.</p>
