Personal anecdote: I got an internship with a very competitive think tank. I had found a few Dartmouth alums working for them, and sent one an e-mail asking if he had any tips for getting a foot in the door ahead of the other applicants. Ten minutes later he e-mailed back saying I had the internship and asking when I wanted to start.

A lot of my friends have similar experiences. And I’ve yet to go to a Dartmouth friend’s wedding with fewer than 15 or so other Dartmouth alums in attendance. At the last one, the 25 or so alums got in a circle and sang the alma mater at the end of the reception.
