Total garbage. (BTW I got into columbia, Brown, and Dartmouth and I love Brown. I just hate garbage, which is what is coming out of your posts). These schools are all great.

BTW I notice that you only have one argument. Dartmouth actually only accepts 28% of its class ED, less than Brown's 30%. Its often the lowest ED percent among the Ivies. So argument #1 is out the window.

I notice your only argument is based on Fulbright's. Have you considered the fact that culturally Brown students pursue this route while Columbia and Dartmouth students often tilt towards grad school and business. Also, did you know that in the last 5 years Dartmouth had more Rhodes scholars than Brown?

But since you want me to argue, let me explain why Dartmouth is better (even though I don't believe this, although maybe now I'm starting to.)

I'll try Dartmouth real quick:
Selectivity:
- Dartmouth avg SAT scores are historically higher by about 20-40 points, which is actually pretty significant. Dartmouth is closer to Princeton than it is to Brown.
- Dartmouth has a lower acceptance rate
- Dartmouth has a higher percentage of URMs in its class
- Dartmouth's RD acceptance rate is lower than Brown's
- Dartmouth beats Brown in terms of percentage of class at Harvard Law, Yale Law, Wharton Business, Stanford Business. Its higher on the feeder rankings by 5!!!!! spots

- Dartmouth has 4/5 elite consulting firms recruiting on campus as a core school. Brown has 2/5 (vault*)

It seems like Dartmouth students are to busy getting into places like Harvard and Yale law to apply for fullbrights. They are battling a harder RD rate. It seems like Dartmouth students are stronger and that's why so many elite consulting firms and banks (the most coveted jobs) recruit so much more at Dartmouth.

I don;t; believe this. But you're making me argue bac

Also
- Dartmouth has over 650K per student, Brown is closer to 250K. BIG difference.
- Dartmouth spends 3!! times as much on advising and internal grants than Brown (COHE)
