“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.”

Maybe the ones end up studying engineering at MIT/Stanford/Princeton would end up opting for hedge funds, consulting, etc., when they graduate given that they get high GPA’s. I was just pointing out my observation. If you go to any interview meeting for investment banks, consulting firms, etc., you will find many high achieving engineering majors.

Based on my observations, of the top students at Dartmouth, only the people who absolutely want to dedicate their careers to the field of their major (whether it’s history, physics, math, biology, linguistics, etc.) would pursue MA and PhD in those area. If not, those top students opt for medicine, business, and law.
