[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the posts but I'm curious...why and how does legacy or athletic ability matter in the long run? Legacy or athletic ability might get you into an Ivy but to stay there and after graduation to be able to apply the skills you learned into a lucrative or rewarding career is the real test isn't it? I knew a kid whose parents got him into Dartmouth Engineering program. But he floundered when he got there and he's struggling to graduate. [/quote] I think it is still true that admission to the AB program at the Thayer school is just part of regular Dartmouth admissions. Admission to the BE program is different but basically you have to be doing a 3-2 program or have already graduated from college. It is not unusual for kids to struggle in engineering programs. I know a lot of people who started there and then switched. Doesn't mean the kid wont succeed later in life. And frankly having a Dartmouth degree won't hurt him. [/quote]
