[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dartmouth will be less affected than Vanderbilt, Wash. U. and even Chicago.

Dartmouth in an Ivy, and the Ivy brand is way too strong globally. It's located in the wealthiest and most populous region of the US (Northeast) and will always attract wealthy students.

Ivy brand may be Strong Globally for other Ivy schools (Even Cornell and Brown). But not Dartmouth!

You silly girl. Of course, Dartmouth COLLEGE is not going to rank well in these global indices where they look at research output (which by the way does not mean academic quality since anyone can publish anything in any journal, including online journals). Dartmouth has prided itself as a college not a university, hence its name. Dartmouth is a first rate undergraduate school, at par with Princeton. It is an Ivy, and the Ivy brand is very strong globally, regardless of what these rankings say.[/quote]
