[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the Dartmouth booster. Dartmouth and it’s alums and marketing material all make it a point to emphasize how similar they are to an LAC.[/quote]

I am the guy you are referring to as "the Dartmouth booster".  I have no affiliation and have visited exactly once.  I am not a Dartmouth "booster" in any way.

I am a "facts" booster, and an "easily googled defeater of BS" booster. And I don't care what Dartmouth alumns say.  Yes I know they still brand themselves Dartmouth College and tout that they are the smallest of the Ivies with 6,300 undergrads.  But they also have 2100 grad students, which is only a few hundred fewer than Princeton (2500 PhD, 333 masters).  Plus there is that whole Carnegie classification R1 thing, and the $326 million in funding. lol.... These are FACTS.

In a forum like this FACTS MATTER, because some families may read things here and may make decisions based on it.  As an open forum, your opinions, even grossly uninformed ones, are welcome, but so are the responses wchich demonstrate how they are factually inaccurate.

Do you "get it" now?[/quote]
