Dartmouth Finance;

Dartmouth could easily fill the school with full paying students but it would be a different type of school.

Remember that Dartmouth’s focus is on educating undergrads. They do not have the income streams in the form of research grants coming in at the level that it may come into other schools . Research monies usually come to through the graduate schools and is earmarked through graduate students. Students at Dartmouth and the elite LACs do a great deal of research at the undergrad level tht is comprable to that done at the graduate level.
