<p>Openingdoors - those are school year internships while you are taking classes - no easy feat and far from getting to work 9-10pm 5 days a week as in a traditional internship. I did a couple while I was in at Columbia myself during b-school myself, mostly 10-15 hrs a week. Also these internships tend to be at smaller firms following a traditional full-time opportunity. So you still need to get through door number one (a full time internship). An advantage to getting a good finance resume, yes. But not greater than the D-plan.</p>
<p>Also the D-plan gives it incredible leverage because its a recruiting fixture - part of the on-campus recruiting process and exclusively Dartmouth. I think the larger point is Columbia does do well, but Dartmouth has an advantage over many schools that appears once one digs a little deeper.</p>
