<p>To piggy back on Ivyisgreen’s post, the Dartmouth network runs deep from the number of alumni that come to Hanover to recruit, to the number of potential job openings that may come through blitzes on your greek system, to going to career services and going through the big book and contacting alumni and having the opportunity to pick their brain.</p>
<p>I also think that the D-plan provides more flexibility in providing opportunities for internships especially at times where there is less competition. There are resume drops at different points of the year for summer internships, fall, winter and spring internship opportunities. It is not unusual for Dartmouth students interested in Finance/Consulting the opportunity to have 2 to 3 internships under their belt before graduation (Several of D’s friends did 3 different internships winter, spring summer of Junior year that resulted in 3 job offers at the beginning of senior year. Many will do a combination of study abroad programs and back to back internships during junior year).</p>
