Intended Major: Chemistry + Electrical Engineering
*Will probably pursue business after graduation, but I want a quantitative undergrad education in fields that interest me. *

Similarities: Focus on undergraduates, Ranked high in US rankings, Need-blind for internationals, Brilliant networking

Notre Dame Pros:

  • Catholic (I am a Catholic, so perhaps higher chances?)
  • More fun college experience (Source: Reddit)
  • Can go home for a year through study abroad
  • 2 hours from Chicago (I am a city boy)
  • Higher ranked for STEM (Source: USNews)

Dartmouth Pros:

  • Smaller size
  • Higher prestige (In ivy league at the end of the day)
  • Higher ranked globally (Source: QS; Ranking matters if I opt to go home)

Cannot think of any cons at the moment. Any insights welcome. Thanks!!!

all your pros for darty seem superficial

sorry mate salute

#

and i wouldnt categorize "more fun according to reddit" as a pro

#

fun is super subjective

#

you should instead look at stuff like clubs, courses available, vibe stated by current students

Can't imagine you'd have more fun at Notre Dame than Dartmouth. Dartmouth is also 2 hours from a city. I imagine you could study abroad at home as well.

#

and what would be the chances for a slightly above average (i guess) applicant to ED to dartmouth?

# heavy iron why?

Dartmotuh is a lot of fun, and has normal rules. ND has a bunch of very restrictive faith based rules

heavy iron
#

#

i kinda think that would become a chanceme

#

which isnt really allowed here

shadow maple
#

correct

#

You can see the stats of typical admits. They are very high. But you need a lot more past that
