Dartmouth is the smallest of the Ivy League. However, how is the undergrad focus compared to Yale and Princeton. I'm assuming Dartmouth has better focus for its undergrad compared to Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Penn, and Cornell, but how is it compared to P and Y? And do you know anyone who chose D over P and Y? thx

How the HELL can someone quantify something like this?

i was up all night doing the calculations....and i'm quite certain Dartmouth is 1.08739% more undergraduate focused than Harvard.

Catcherny, I think you forgot to carry a three somewhere. I came out with 4.0012985 percent.

i choose dartmouth over princeton/yale:

anyways, i got the impression that dartmouth was easily more undergrad focused than yale. for example on my tours at yale i saw the law school (grads), research by grad students etc while at dartmouth i was shown projects undergrads were working on. even just looking at numbers it's clear dartmouth has more of an undergrad focus (yale 5200 undergrads, 6000 grads v. dartmouth 4200 undergrads, 1000 grads)

as for princeton, i think its about equally undergrad focused as dartmouth, but i didn't look as closely at it as yale/dartmouth.
