Ok, one last question....

<p>And I swear I will never bug Dartmouth students again. I am curious, is it worth taking out some loans to pay for Dartmouth grad school. It's not Tuck or an MD. It's a PhD in Health Policy from the Medical School's Institute for Health Policy. </p>

<p>I doubt that it's a ranked program because it's fairly new, but does anyone know about this program? They offer a substantial amount of aid but its still no free ride so I will have to seek assistance be it loans or grants. </p>

<p>I know many of you are undergrads but have any of you heard of the alumni relations with the grad students? Are the career services and strong alumni network helpful to grad students or are all of the resources mainly reserved for undergrads? I do believe that the degree is awarded through the Med School so the advantage is being a part of both the general alumni network and the DMS network. </p>

<p>What are your thoughts?</p>

<p>I think that if you went to Dartmouth for undergrad, you would not want to stay in Hanover for grad school. Four years in the middle of nowhere are wonderful, but definitely enough.</p>

<p>Well I am not a Dartmouth grad. I am planning to attend the school for grad school. I was just curious if the alumni network and strong relations are also helpful to graduate students.</p>

<p>Wops looks like I misread your post. Sorry!</p>

<p>I don't think that many people can answer your question, since this is basically an exclusively undergrad board. </p>

<p>I will say, though, that Dartmouth's programs relating to health policy and outcomes are outstanding--they almost invented much of modern outcomes analysis. So I would suspect that the connections would be very good.</p>

<p>Thanks, Wisconsin guy! Appreciate the info. It's good the hear that Dartmouth's program is up and coming.</p>

<p>Anyone else have any other info about the program from what they've heard?</p>
