I think this policy sucks, but this thread is getting out of hand.

Dartmouth is not a better school by any legitimate measure (especially in terms of research/ sciences). In reality, the schools are incredibly similar (strong alumni networks, very big on wall street), but academically Duke is at least on par and in many regards, better than Dartmouth.

Back on topic. As a person in my mid-20s, I would really not want to go to Duke or Dartmouth. Both are very contained to their own campuses and greek. Personally I would want a big city scene, but Durham is probably better than NH. Plus Duke has about 5x the number of grad students as Dartmouth. If I were you I would be ****ed at Duke, but as a 26 year old I would not want to be in Hanover, NH where the only people my age are ex-ibankers enrolled at Tuck.
