Do Dartmouth Grads find it as easy to get into choice grad schools as other elites?

<p>let me know if Dartmouth alumni have a big or small presence in top grad school programs....I know that we all like to say that we want to go to college for the joy of learning....but let's be real. We're there so we can go to choice grad schools and get a high paying job.</p>

<p>I know there was a survey done by the Wallstreetjournal that put Dartmouth in the top 7-8 in the country for elite grad school acceptances...you might want to do a search but I imagine someone else has the site and will post it.</p>

<p>Many thanks, Fountain. Good to know!</p>

<p>That kinda makes sense. I remember my anatomy teacher telling me that Med schools, for one, LOVE students from liberal-arts-type colleges, who are involved in something like theater or music. I guess they want a "well-rounded" matriculating class...</p>

<p>As opposed to colleges, who now want kids to be "angular"... how ironic.</p>
