OP, @gunner369 ,you do not have a guaranteed admission to medical school from Hofstra. So there is no advantage of Hofstra. Obviously, Dartmouth is stronger school than Hofstra with great track for premed. If someone tells you that it is easier to get to medical school after Hofstra they are not telling truth.
If you think that you can get higher GPA and be happier at Hofstra, that is your choice. However, if you truly can comfortably afford both, 99% of students would choose Dartmouth in a heart beat.
