<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was wondering how reputable D is with IBanking/Consulting/General Business recruiters. Not for the grad school, but for the undergrad.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>It's very, very, very reputable. There are tons of kids here, from a wide variety of majors, who go on to do the business route. Dartmouth's alumni base is one of the strongest out there (as evidenced by the #2 alum giving rate), and alums really help out recent grads. Also, there is a ton of recruiting, pretty much all the main firms come to campus to recruit. If that's what you want to do, Dartmouth will serve you well. Don't be put off by the image that it's just a school in the middle of no where.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply, sailia... if i may ask, are you a dartmouth student? basically, how do you know that info?</p>
<p>it's not like i don't believe you; it's just that i want to know where you're getting the info</p>
<p>No problem, totally understandable. I'm a current Dartmouth student.</p>
<p>Sporting pressed oxford shirts and cuffed khaki pants, students shuffled up the stairs of the Hopkins Center Tuesday to browse jobs and collect free samples at this year's Employer Connections Fair.</p>
<p>The two-day fair, which Career Services organizes each year to give students an opportunity to explore career options, features display booths for more than a hundred employers, including Goldman, Sachs and Co.; McKinsey and Abercrombie and Fitch.</p>
<p>Susanne Delaney, a representative of the Peace Corps who has attended the fair for the past three years, said she was floored again by the turnout.</p>
<p>"Dartmouth's career fair is one of the best organized fairs, and it is the [best] not-for-profit fair in the region," Delaney said.</p>
<p>Juniors scrambled Wednesday to submit applications to more than 36 organizations seeking to recruit Dartmouth students for summer internships in financial services, consulting and marketing, among other fields. </p>
<p>The summer internship search began long before Wednesday, however, as high-profile companies have traversed Hanover looking to woo students to their firms. Merrill Lynch representatives, for example, held an information session Monday in Carson Hall to speak to undergraduates about job opportunities at the firm. Forty students attended.</p>
<p>According to Merrill's Wylie Collins '83, who led the meeting with colleague Mike Herzig '89, one of these sought-after internships often leads to future career prospects.</p>
<p>"Our lowest-risk approach to hiring full-time employees is to hire people we know," Collins said, noting that students who spend a summer working with the firm would have a definite advantage when applying for a job.</p>
<p>Thanks for reinforcing my view of Dartmouth as being a solid preparation for a business career.</p>
<p>Now, I am wondering how Dartmouth compares to others within the ivies/stanford.</p>
<p>Out of the 9 schools, where does dart rank? </p>
<p>Specifically for management consulting, does anyone know the success of Dart undergrads?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I am at Columbia MBA and I have been astounded by Dartmouth grads success. D is the second most represented at Stanford MBA and seems to do extrordinarily well across the line. All the major top firms recruit on campus, I would say it is perhaps a little behind HYPS and above the other Ivies.</p>
<p>I agree, that is pretty much the sense I have gotten: Slightly behind HYPS, but above the others. But Dartmouth opens enough doors for you, that if you are deserving, you will have no problem getting a promising job after college.</p>
