You indeed have a wonderful decision to make. If you’re thinking about bioengineering, Penn has one of the top programs, although I’m sure that Dartmouth’s is also exceptional in terms of its level of instruction.

It should come down to school environment and fit:
Do you prefer an urban (Penn) or rural (Dartmouth) environment?

The actual “geists” of the two schools are VERY similar in many ways - pre-professional, somewhat fratty, although Penn is a lot more racially diverse (well, we have a lot of Asians, anyway - I believe 33% of the class this year, so Jews and Asians outnumber whites for the first time).
