<p>Aren’t we getting tired of comparing apples to oranges? I think if you look at the students at both schools you will see that their SATs and ACTS are similar; Stanford is a phenomenal university in California/Dartmouth is a phenomenal college (with a medical school, business school and engineering school) in New Hampshire. What they do have in common besides bright students is a similar academic calendar. The guidance counselor has no clue-but we need not bash Dartmouth to prove her off base.</p>
