how about princeton?

Princeton is still a research institution, and as such, most of its faculty is hired based on their research ability, not their teaching ability. Dartmouth doesn't even offer traditional graduate degrees in most fields. It makes sure its professors are good in both research and teaching.

Heard about Dartmouth from Gossip girl and Grey's Anatomy and Princeton from 'A Cinderella story'... Also Brown and Yale and things from the OC...

Ah the joys of television!

I do now...

Yes, I've heard about it, but only because I read (and watched) Gossip Girl.
I always thought of it was one of the lower-echelon Ivies. Not quite up there with Yale and Harvard, but trying its damnedest to get there. Of course, I know basically nothing about it, but that's just the impression I got from..er... Gossip Girl.

Which school has better recognition: Columbia or Dartmouth? Which is better prestige-wise?

columbia for prestige, judging by the responses of gossip girl fans though dartmouth may well edge it out in terms of recognition nowadays. lol

My friend here in the US applied to Dartmouth, shes in the top 10 of our year, possibly top 5... and she didnt get in. VERY selective, very difficult to get into and top class education.

As far as I was concerned, Dartmouth was a place in Devon, England. So never heard of it no, even though I do watch Gossip Girl.

Ok, so if I have a bachelors from Harvard and an MA from Dartmouth, would that help me out jobwise in London?

An MA from Dartmouth? Hmnnn...

I'm quite sure Dartmouth is an awesome school for undergrad. But I'm not sure if its postgrad education is as good and as reputable as its undergrad. The only respected postgrad program at Dartmouth is MBA which is offered by Tuck Business School, the graduate business school of Dartmouth College.

Dartmouth was voted best college for getting rich by Forbes. This is really interesting. I think its the great alumni network. Dartmouth is gaining ground.
