Although both schools have great reputations globally, the region these schools are in is an important factor.

You said that you are trying to go into business… what type of business? Are you trying to start a tech company or work for Google or Apple? If so, Dartmouth won’t hurt, but it may be nicer to develop local connections/ possibly have internships here in the Bay Area. That said I know wildly successful families who went to dartmouth and wildly successful families who all went to Berkeley. I guess its what you do with your education after that really counts, especially when you are comparing two of the top schools in the world. You really can’t go wrong with either.

It’s not like the east coast doesn’t have business opportunities as well. From what I have read, Boston is doing well and Southern New Hampshire is developing a lot of tech businesses (they have really low taxes in NH).

I read a magazine article, forget which, that ranked the top cities for business growth. It went;

1. Austin TX

2. Boston

3. San Jose

4. San Francisco

If it was me, I would go to Dartmouth, but my reasons are completing different than yours. Good luck and congrats.
