<p>Dartmouth food = yuummmy :D At UMich campus day, we seriously were served mystery meat. I have no idea what sort of animal they served us, but wasn't it just delicious? <em>sarcasm</em></p>
<p>And Taylor w/o his shirt again (that word must really turn you on....)! YESSSS my day has just gotten exponentially better!</p>
<p>(Comments like these are what happen after I've just force-fed my brain Invisible Man for the past nine hours, writing a term paper which STILL isn't complete. Excellent. But still inexcusable.)</p>
<p>Someone on the Princeton Board said something I found very succinct and true about Dartmouth that is in keeping with my feeling that Dartmouth is in fact not equal to any other schools, including all those mentioned above: not necessarily better or worse, but incomparable. </p>
<p>darmani (I believe s/he is Columbia '09) said that Dartmouth has a
Green, unshakeable otherness to it.</p>
<p>We at Penn aren't obsessed about prestige. In fact, most of the people I saw during Penn Previews were very laid back and applied early decision, which means that it wasn't their "next best" to Harvard or Yale, but they simply like the school. And, comparing Penn to Dartmouth is like comparing apples and oranges. The schools are almost completely different, other than the fact that they're both Ivy League. Penn is more focused on business and the biological sciences and is located in Philly, while Dartmouth is a liberal arts school located in the suburbs.</p>
<p>I don't know about Columbia, nor do I particularly care. However, I have a few friends who love it and one of whom will be attending next year. So, my point is that we shouldn't generalize about every student at the school just because people like "Ben" (and, now, apparently, a lot of other people) enjoy acting stupid.</p>
<p>No, I loved Penn when i lived there this summer. I just applied to Wharton and decided I wanted a more liberal arts education instead. thats why i chose Dartmouth. Plus the professors were a little more accessable it seemed like at Dartmouth, though if any kid going to Penn reads this, you should take a class with Prof. Anne Greenhaugh. she's amazing.</p>
<p>and am i a whore? tis true that i might be, but i'd say its just getting to know each other.</p>
<p>that reminds me, at Penn i know two of the guys in our group got asked if they were male prostitutes.</p>
<p>the thing is...what you were saying before, I Think Your Name Is Taylor, about it being easy to get into Cornell - that depends on which school. Yeah, ILR and CALS - but the College of Arts and Sciences has the same 12% acceptance rate for RD that you find at Columbia, you know?</p>
<p>Penn's food DID suck. Dartmouth's was way better...Tufts' was actually the best :-P</p>
<p>jesus christ, is it sad that the first thing i thought of when you said that was Taylor polynomials? lol...the BC Calc exam was TODAY, it's OVER, and I'm still thinking about it, that is so wrong.</p>
<p>i was about to make comments about one of the free response questions after i read "taylor polynomials", but then i remembered i might get in trouble, lol.</p>
<p>LOL oh my god, we were laughing about that in Government today. DURING THE BATHROOM BREAK all the girls were discussing the multiple choice problems. Then our Gov teacher was like "I think they make the 48 hour rule because of time zones or something like that." Then we were like, OH!</p>
<p>what'd you think, taurus? I thought it was better than I expected lol...and that particular series question about the taylor series was a GIFT...my class was practically crying with joy hahaha, you could hear "I loved it" "Thank you, ETS" whenever someone brought it up later lol</p>
<p>i thought it was fine (esp. the taylor series questions); i was a bit slow on the non-calc multiple choice section and didn't even get to some questions. time to study for ap euro... lol</p>
<p>omg, i totally didn't know a bunch of stuff on that stuff. its cause i'm taking calc online, and i just started it in in late january. i actually got to Taylor series last night, no differential stuff covered yet. hahaha, so i took it with no review and no AB since last year.</p>
<p>ap euro study time too. i'm angry Dartmouth doesn't give credit for Gov or Comparative. i so know i could've gotten 5s on them. ohhhh wait, eng lit is thursday huh? ok, gotta reread Lord of the Flies tonight. I know i'm going to use it on the essay, so i'm focusing hard on it.</p>
<p>"I don't give a hoot about prestige as long as I get a good education."</p>
<p>As soon as I read this, before reading the bit about your parents, I thought to myself, "I bet she comes from a wealthy family". It's great that you don't care about prestige, but some people don't have the luxury not to care.</p>

ap euro was the best. it is further proof that with a little knowledge you can bs any essay

and i most certainly did. especially numbers one and seven.</p>
<p>fids, your comment really bugged me, but i can't pinpoint what specifically irks me about it. i think that you've made an unfair statement, and let's just leave it at that.</p>
