Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College

<p>Dartmouth students, I am sure that most of you applied and were selected for different colleges. But why did you apply to Dartmouth, what is attractive about it that many students apply. Besides the fact that it is Ivy league school, what made you feel attractive towards Dartmouth ? I guess what I am trying to say, why did you choose Dartmouth, what an as so special about it ?</p>

<p>Most intimate Ivy, incredible undergrad support/ advising/ grants, best undergrad Ivy education, among best graduate placement of ivies, great recruiting, chill students, fun environment, tight-knit student body, incredibly (fun) traditions, i love the D-plan/ sophomore summer, access to lots of natural beauty.</p>

<p>Really? I don’t buy this one. I can’t imagine Dartmouth achieving better grad school placements that HYP, Columbia or Penn. Wouldn’t be surprised if Cornell/Brown do better either.</p>

<p>May I ask what you are basing your opinion on?</p>

<p>$20 says she’s basing it off US News. lol. what a misleading pile of crap that thing is! too bad most people probably use these rankings as “the law” on colleges.</p>

<p>According to this Wall Street Journal study, Dartmouth ranked behind HYP but ahead of the other Ivy league schools and 7th overall in placement into top grad programs:</p>

<p>dartmouth is huge for job placement on wall street…i know guys that got hired last year that went straight to wall street makin 100K+…lots of seniors are going through corporate recruiting right now</p>

<p>I would say the environment here is really tight-knight. We are big enough that you will meet new people but small enough to allow for a real scene of community. I know that sounds cliche but visiting here really convinced me. (Where else can you just randomly enter a frat)</p>

<p>Add to that the fact that as a school with an undergrad focus you really do get the primary focus. I think it is the perfect in-between from a large university with a lot of resources you can’t access and a small college with lots of access to resources but lacks many.</p>

<p>(And yes we do well with job placement)</p>

<p>Dartmouth does really well with grad placement and job placement - not even a question. I think people like srrinath just haven’t done the research or they have research university goggles on.</p>
