<p>Okay, i plan on getting a research job in either texas or north carolina (since i plan on going to med school a year after that). Does anyone know if it’s harder to get a research position in the south if you’re from dartmouth. I get the feeling that people haven’t heard of it/look down on it in teh south (dartmouths acceptance rate to Duke Med was 0 %).</p>
<p>Dartmouth has an amazing alumni network, so chances are that a Dartmouth alumnus will definitely help you out. Dartmouth has recognition; there will always be people who don’t know of great schols.</p>
<p>I know of at least two people who used the alumni network to secure internships in north carolina for this upcoming summer.</p>
<p>yeah but i’m talking about a job, not an internship.</p>
<p>Yes, well the idea is that if you can secure an internship in an area you will then have contacts with whom you can network later or at the very least the internship itself, being local, will ring a bell with other area employers when you begin looking for a job.</p>
<p>Yes, people generally don’t know about it outside of the Northeast. Same with most schools, even the ones you’d think have prestige. They’re not generally known outside of their geographic area, except for Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford, and, among techies, MIT.</p>
