[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is Dartmouth in the current Ivy pecking order? I've viewed it more as a great large LAC. Dartmouth and Brown are hard for me to judge since they are not as strong as research institutions as Cornell, Penn, or Columbia but seem to care a lot about undergrad education. [/quote]

Dartmouth is its own beast, and large LAC is almost a good shorthand for what it feels like. The students who actually get in and say yes are very self-selecting. It’s different from Penn or Columbia where someone might apply as a reach and go regardless of if it’s a fit because of the name alone. The location and vibe of Dartmouth makes for a a very tight-knit campus. Sophomore summer is also unique and gives students interested in internships in DC or NYC or wherever a much better chance at them during a less competitive time of year. Tbh, people at Dartmouth aren’t concerned about where they are in the Ivy pecking order unless they play a sport.
