Dartmouth or Notre Dame

Something else to consider: I’d worry if someone was choosing a college based on concerns of getting a job in this economy. Because, almost surely, the economy will not be in a different state when they graduate in four years.

And I think there is a very real Ivy advantage. If I recall the figures correctly, Dartmouth’s career services office put out an information table a few years ago showing that Dartmouth history majors made it to medical school at a higher rate than biology/pre-med majors at many other non-Ivy elite schools. And that’s without Dartmouth screening applicants.
