I really don’t know anything about Whitman, but I really really wanted to go to Dartmouth last year, but I was waitlisted. I lovelovelove Bowdoin, but you should really try to visit both schools before you make a decision. The only thing that turns me off about Dartmouth now, in hindsight, is that the frat/sorority scene is pretty big–apparently it dominates the social scene there. Bowdoin doesnt have that at all, and I’m glad. Academically, I don’t honestly know if you’d be able to tell the difference. I was the valedictorian of a small prep school and I feel very challenged here and if I didn’t, I know what harder classes I could be taking. At this point, it’s all about fit. Just go to the school that feels right. And yeah, forrealllll, I wish I had your problem! Good luck!
