^ While I agree with most of your assertions, I don’t buy the argument that Dartmouth has more prestige. Duke undergrad has consistently outranked Dartmouth on USNews, and most lay people use that ranking as a measure of institutional prestige. Furthermore, Duke wins 60% of cross admits against Dartmouth (according to Parchment). This is a telling statistic because cross admit data usually correlates to institutional prestige.
