<p>I like LACs, basically.
And I heard that Dartmouth's emphasises the liberal arts education,
although, in fact, it is NOT a liberal arts college like Amhest or Williams.</p>
<h1>1) So, my question is, is there such thing as Williams/Amherst being</h1>
<p>more "LACy" than Dartmouth?
Or would I be almost equally satisfied with the liberal arts education they offer?</p>
<h1>2) My second question is that I am well aware that Dartmouth has very strong connection in the field of business, but my planned carrer is law-based and</h1>
<p>I heard that more Williams graduate get accepted by Top Law schools.
So, although it might sound a little ridiculuous, is it recommended to go to Williams
if I want to pursue law-professional jobs?</p>
<p>Well, I don't know what you mean by more "Lacy". But Dartmouth is definitely much different from the other Ivies. 64% or its classes enroll less than 20 students. Professors obviously love to teach undergraduate students. Since most students are undergrads, majority of research opportunities go to them. </p>
<p>It also has a very flexible academic calender known as the "D" plan.</p>
<p>So, in terms of class sizes, accessible professors, close knit community, and academic flexibility it is very similar to a liberal arts college like Williams or Amherst. But at the the same time it also has the facilities that are available at a larger research institution. And at the end of the day it is an "Ivy". </p>
<p>That is as much as I can answer. I hope it helped.</p>
<p>Let me start out by saying I love I Williams and it is really a great school (so there will be no bashing for me).</p>
<p>With the exception of size, Williams and Dartmouth are more similar than they are different. At the end of the day there is a large overlap of students who were either accepted to both, some choosing Williams, others choosing Dartmouth (D chose Dartmouth over Williams).</p>
<p>There are students who get accepted to Williams and get rejected by Dartmouth and students that are accepted to Dartmouth and rejected by Williams.</p>
<p>We were discussing this very topic the other night and my D told me that she has friends who are 6's, 7's and 8's who are attending every one of the T-14 schools (she has sorority sisters who are attending Harvard, NYU, Columbia, Mich, UVA, Penn, Duke and Chicago law).</p>
<p>At the end of the day, both schools will provide you with an excellent education if it is your desire to have one and both schools have students who are accepted across the T-14. </p>
<p>I think that Dartmouth may have more students for the plain and simple fact that</p>
<p>1) There are more students at Dartmouth who probably apply to law school and </p>
<p>2) There are probably more students who apply to PhD programs out of Williams.</p>
<p>Son was accepted to both and attended Dartmouth. But it makes no difference whatsoever. The student bodies, as I can figure it, are as similar as can be.
Lucky is the person who is accepted to one. Let alone both.
Neither school will open or shut doors that the other won't.</p>
