Wow lots of typical DC types that don't know what they're talking about.  Alum here.  Dartmouth is one of the smallest ivies and has as very powerful alumni network.  The old time alums give favoritism to Dartmouth grads and they are some of the most successful ivy leaguers out there.  OH if you count "success" as in running Wall Street investment firms, consulting, VC, marketing, etc as opposed to Harvard/Brown save the whales nonsense.

Want to make some $? go to Dartmouth

want to be a DC shmuck?  go to one of the schools they praise[/quote]
Dartmouth is indeed famed for having a great network, but how much is that network primarily for already wealthy kids vs. a regular middle-class kid?
Regardless, anyone in Harvard/Brown gets the same opportunities - and more opportunities in the case of Harvard-  with investment firms/conulting/VC/Marketing. [/quote]

This is so not true.  An ill-at-ease Harvard kid who hasn't really networked will not have the opportunities leaving college that a Dartmouth kid who has brains, social skills and a network will have.  Substitute Yale and Princeton for Harvard, and Williams and Amherst for Dartmouth, and the outcome would be the same. [/quote]
