It seems to me that the majority of the top students at my high school get into engineering at Dartmouth, etc., but end up taking offers at MIT/Stanford/Princeton; a few friends I know at my high school consider going to undergrad in engineering at Dartmouth, etc. their plan D.



Congratulations?

All that Spring was trying to say was that Thayer will give you such great job opportunities out of undergrad that many will consider grad school at even the most prestigious places plan B.

MIT, Stanford, and Princeton will give their undergrads similar opportunities. I was accepted to two of those institutions, but chose Dartmouth - admittedly not for engineering - because I thought the overall experience would be better. For the fields I’m interested in, finance and medicine, there’s a negligible - or at worst, a very small - difference in recruiting and opportunities between Dartmouth and HYPSM.
