<p>My mom is an economist in DC, and she says they think very highly of Pomona grads and try to take them on as interns.</p>
<p>"Neuroscience is the third most popular major at Dartmouth and is arguably one of its strongest departments"</p>
<p>I don't know where you heard this, but this is exactly the opposite of what I heard when I visited Dartmouth. The most popular majors are Econ by far, then History and probably Bio. I talked to a biology professor, and when I told him I wanted to study neuroscience, he admitted that Dartmouth wasn't the best place for neuro. He said they had great mobio and genetics departments, but neuro wasn't really that popular or good. However, this really won't deter me from applying to Dartmouth (I'm applying to Pomona too) because I liked the school overall.</p>
