NU’s quarter system had me in my freshman fall quarter taking 4 classes and 2 labs (overall 4.6 credits) a Dartmouth ‘trimester’ has a student taking about 3 classes.

The Dartmouth Plan is unique. Sure, 3 courses/qtr are standard, but the quarters aren’t even 10 weeks long. D has a compacted schedule.

Regardless, think about the message you are sending to the new school: ‘my current [top 10] curriculum schedule is too difficult for me, so I want to transfer…’

Not likely to be a winning strategy, IMO. Much better is an academic reason…
