[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of these people don’t know what they are talking about.  I’m an Amherst grad that got into HLS, YLS and Columbia Law.  I see resumes all the time for hiring and the Amherst grads do very well at law school admits particularly for HLS and YLS — it’s as close as you come to a feeder for those two schools.

Of course Dartmouth is fine too but a small school like Amherst its easier to get to know the r professors and develop real leadership skills.

But I also think it’s ridiculous for a teen to be aiming for Big Law.  It’s a step short of saying that your career goal is to be the Hunger Games tribute.   I mean, lots of us end up there but the idea of it being a goal when you are just 16 is so sad.  [/quote]
Don't see much actual analysis but just bias from this comment. Sure, Dartmouth is a university, but it is really small and has more resources, so you can achieve all that you can do at Amherst and more. More students means more invested in clubs and activities and more leadership experiences. This would make more sense for UC Berkeley where things are bursting at the seams, but Dartmouth is honestly not that far off from being a liberal arts college. Dartmouth is an undergraduate college by all intents and purposes.[/quote]
