Hapa, this is rediculous, I also am planning on applying to law school. Law schools do not care about the prestige of your undergraduate school, it is almost entirely a numbers game, the only time prestige matters is if your comparing like a school ranked 50-100 to a school in the top 25, they will give the top 25 a little boost, but still they would much rather have a kid with a 3.8-4.0 from the 50-100 then a 3.4 or 3.5 from the top 25, so if you are going to law school, I would say do not go to dartmouth you will regret it. Also, I do miss California, there is nothing like that Cali sunshine, especially compared to the frigid hell at Dartmouth, you will not enjoy that weather. I go home about once every 2-3 months. Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break then maybe like one out of the ordinary break. However, Vanderbilt has a very long summer we get out in late April and go back end of August.
