<p>I'm going to major in engineering and minor in Chinese, but my goal is to attend Harvard for my MBA. If I go to Dartmouth for undergrad engineering, do I have a good shot at Harvard if my GPA is decent? Is Dartmouth great for grad placement? Or would I have been better off at schools like Northwestern, Caltech, or Purdue?</p>

<p>so i guess the path you described can work!!</p>
<p>Dartmouth is a top feeder for the best post-graduate programs. It trails only HYP among the Ivies (Dartmouth is ranked above Columbia, Brown, Cornell & Penn.) From Wall Street Journal:</p>
<p>While your goal is to attend Harvard, remember that you will have to have 3 to 5 years of work experience under the belt before getting into a good MBA program. The kind of job you get will be just as important as your GMAT/ gpa</p>
<p>I graduated in 2002 and it appears that most of my classmates are getting into the top 5 B-schools now, many at HBS. Dartmouth is in the top 7 most represented schools when class size is factored in at Harvard, Wharton, AND Stanford. It does extrordinarily well at grad placement, right after HYP.</p>
