<p>Im considering between Stern finance (apparently strong) and dartmouth econs/maths/ivy brand
Which one will carry me better to Wall Street/IB/Grad law school or MBA?
thanks people. Im international btw so actually i have a vague comparision. glad if u can help :)</p>
<p>Most consider Dartmouth to place better than Stern on the Street. Your prospects at top grad schools will also be higher at Dartmouth because you avoid Stern’s grade deflation.</p>
<p>If you need financial aid, remember that Dartmouth is need-blind to internationals, while NYU is not.</p>
<p>I would say Dartmouth is much stronger. Both will get you to the street, but Dartmouth will give you better access to the best firms. The D-plan also is a huge advantage, in terms of placement onto Wall Street and consulting, that Dartmouth has over all the other top schools.</p>
<p>Academically, Dartmouth is superior in practically every way. One major consideration, however, is the fact that as an International, you may feel more comfortable in the Big City vs. a small, rural town.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is not “much stronger” than NYU Stern at placing on to wall street. If you are interested in consulting though, Dartmouth would be the better choice. If I were in your position, I would go to the school that fits best and/or costs the least.</p>
<p>Im interested in IB more.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is better than Stern at placing onto Wall Street. Outside of Wharton, Harvard, and maybe Princeton, Dartmouth does arguably the best. The D-plan has a lot to do with this, as does the alumni network and history/ legacy on the street.</p>
<p>So you are saying that right below wharton HYPSM is dartmouth
Is it true that right behind dartmouth is stern or far behind dartmouth stern ? thanks :)</p>
<p>I would say for IB Dartmouth = Yale, Stanford, and MIT and these are all behind Harvard, Princeton, and Wharton.</p>
<p>Stern=Brown, Cornell, Northwestern, and others which are one level behind.</p>
<p>While Dartmouth isn’t very strong in some academic aspects (though it does place a high emphasis on education of its undergraduates) - for some peculiar reason it has a ridiculously high presence on the street in terms of its network. Dartmouth places right behind H, W, and P - and probably places at the level of around Yale.</p>
<p>Simply by posing the question, you should go to Stern.</p>
<p>
Funny AND true.</p>
<p>I’m a Dartmouth math modified with econ major. It’s the ****, so come here.</p>
<p>Sterns is for losers.</p>
<p>Also, I disagree with these “HPW are #1” fanatics. If you are motivated enough, and take adavantage of the D-plan to get internships at weird times, you will have access to opportunities that HPW students don’t have.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s possible that “Sterns” is for losers, but I heard that Stern is pretty good though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And pass up the honor and privilege of going to the “alpha dog” of the Ivy League?</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>Not really.</p>
<p>Dartmouth > Stern</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s funny - I heard that objob is cool, but that objobs is an internet ■■■■■ that corrects forum grammar to feel big.</p>
<p>You should send me a message some time… let me know how you’re doing at Sterns, etc.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wasn’t so much correcting your grammar as calling you out for (incorrectly) saying that people who go to Stern are “losers.” It doesn’t make me “feel big” though. Does it make you “feel big” to lord Dartmouth’s alleged superiority over Stern? Next time that you insult another top school, at least get its name right.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am not a Stern student. The fact that you assumed I was reveals how narrow-minded you are. I know it’s virtually impossible for a Dartmouth ■■■■■ like you to imagine how someone could defend a school with which he or she doesn’t actually have any affiliation.</p>

<p>[Napoleon</a> complex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex]Napoleon”>Napoleon complex - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>Stern is a good business school, but the vast majority of those on Wall St. would agree that Dartmouth places better on the Street.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is true. It’s not a Napoleon complex.</p>
<p>Consider the following hypothetical situation (which happens all the time at Dartmouth):</p>
<p>A Junior elects to take his fall term off. He applies for a Dartmouth-only internship at Goldman Sachs, gets the gig (perhaps partially due to the fact that there is very little competition at this time), and does a splendid job. It’s now winter term – time to apply for summer analyst positions. Goldman is now flooded with applications from top-notch candidates at top-notch schools, like Harvard, Princeton, and Wharton. Goldman already knows that the Dartmouth student is excellent, so they give him the summer analyst position with the expectation of offering him a full-time job at the end of the summer. The Harvard, Princeton, and Wharton students duke it out, and many of them are rejected. Meanwhile, the Dartmouth student sails through.</p>
<p>As a Dartmouth Student, Im going to be realistic about this. </p>
<p>Yes, Dartmouth is better than Stern. Stern is mainly kids who didn’t get into ivies and justified it by going to an undergradute business school becasue it “gets them ready for wall street.”</p>
<p>No, Dartmouth is not better than HPW for placement on Wall Street. You can tell yourself that all you want, but the D-Plan can’t make up for the prestige factor. </p>
<p>DartmouthForever, you must be a '14 who has no idea how the D-Plan works. There are no Dartmouth specific internship programs junior fall. Those are all Junior winter. Companies have corporate recuritng during sophomore summer for junior winter intenrship programs. If you excel, you don’t get a summer internship, you get full time offer. So there are kids with full time offers to Goldman, MS, & BWater by their junior spring. Pretty sick, but you don’t know what you’re talking about.</p>
