<p>I guess we can agree to disagree. </p>
<p>Of the total student body, Dartmouth is ~71% undergrads compared to Princeton’s 67% – obviously, not a big difference. However, many folks, (including the folks that design the Common Data Set instructions) exclude professional schools from the denominator for the very reason that undergrads and professional school grads don’t generally mix. The point is that undergrads at Dartmouth cannot take course at the med school, which is self-contained. (Nor Tuck, for that matter, altho D is offering an Intro Business course next year.) Thus, med school students do not compete for time/research for the Arts & Sciences faculty; indeed, in many A&S departments, there are no grad programs/students at Dartmouth. In contrast, the P’ton grad students that exist ARE in the Arts & Sciences (since it has no professional schools, save perhaps Wilson); thus, they do compete with undergrads for faculty time/resources.</p>
