<p>D was accepted to these, we haven't visited UPenn or Dartmouth yet. Would love to hear any thoughts. We are planning visits soon!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Upenn I’d say. Do some background research, but I’d go to UPenn if I was in your shoes.</p>
<p>Dartmouth has the best undergraduate program out of all three of them. It’s small, intimate, and very undergraduate oriented. There’s not much interesting about Penn, and Cornell is just too large.</p>
<p>dartmouth traditionally most conservative politically, beautiful, a little remote…really a big LAC…not a major research university.
Penn very urban location, all disciplines and professional schools…you have to put yourself forward to really benefit…strong business bent with Wharton, finance biggest major…
Cornell more diverse socioeconomic due to state schools, all disciplines and professional schools (though med school in NYC.) Ithaca a much better college town than Hanover.
These three are quite different, for all of being in Ivy League. All super options, but you need to decide… Urban vs rural, big vs small, penn and cornell more competitive for faculty attention…it’s about who you are!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t use “conservative” to describe Dartmouth, I’d say its politics would be the same at all three. That’s an outdated view from the 80’s.</p>
<p>I’d choose Dartmouth (biased). Most intimate education, LAC like undergraduate focus, amazing undergrad programs, laid-back and fun student body (Penn can be pretentious), incredible graduate placement, incredibly loyal alumni. I just think Dartmouth is one of the most unique undergrad experiences in the country, the school does so much to give you the best education possible and the community is very real.</p>
<p>I’m also in a similar situation right now. I have to choose between Dartmouth and Cornell and I have no idea where to attend. I am from Ghana and don’t know much about the cities: whether Ithaca is better than Hanover or not. I wanna do pre-Med and I would appreciate it if anyone could help me choose. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance guys</p>
<p>Dartmouth has an awesome med school richard. COME TO DARTMOUTH!</p>
