<p>Two other points to add:
- Think about the calendar of the two schools - Duke is semester based, where you will take 4 or 5 classes over a longer stretch of time and Dartmouth is the D-Plan where you will typically take 3 classes over 10 weeks, so the pacing of the material and shifting from subject to subject will be different at both schools. Think through which you like better.
- Global scale networks - Duke has become a powerbrand worldwide with DukeEngage and its science and engineering research. Dartmouth is also amazing with its alumni network, but dig through the info on this if global assignments in your future are important to you.</p>
