Hello Max 1. You can't go wrong with either options. You will have great time at either. 2. I see Dartmouth as the most similar Ivy to Notre Dame. Both are known for for tight campus communities, elite alumni bases, strong pipelines into finance/consulting, and aren't known for their surrounding cities. Also, from what I've seen Notre Dame and Dartmouth are on a similar level for job placement (but varies by industry obv). 3. I've met a few people at ND who got into Dartmouth and chose ND. 4. Two of the biggest variables will be: your major and cost/financial aid packages 5. If you care about both watching sports and religion/faith, I'd almost certainly choose Notre Dame. 6. If you care about outdoor activities (skiing, hiking), greek life, and saying "you got to the Ivy League", I'd almost certainly choose Dartmouth (I'd caution against putting too much importance on last component) 7. If you have a positive perception of dorms and see your self as a "social" person, there is a very high chance you will have a great experience in dorms at Notre Dame. 8. Dartmouth is a better feeder school for Boston jobs. ND is a better feeder school for Chicago jobs.

@@DrewBraaten Agree with 1, 4, 5 but ofc there is much more to it. @max_grav I'd take time to compare the offers, research both schools and talk to people who go there. As Drew said, they are both amazing schools so huge congrats and best of luck with the decision!

@@DrewBraaten Thank you so much Drew! You def gave me a lot to think about. Financials is about the same at both and the community vibe you were describing is exactly why I applied and feel so lucky to have the change to attend either school. I hope major in somthing medically related and minor in education, and I could care less about the ivy leave title as both schools seem to have a great rep in these areas to me. I know I would thrive in ND’s dorms and am religious so I know I would absolutely love ND in that aspect. I’m open to frats at Dart but not a huge fan. I love to ski, hike, camp, and pretty much anything outdoors and a lot of people tell me I’m the ideal dartmouth student. I feel like my values align best with notre dame yet my personality is like dartmouth. As you can tell I’m pretty torn but I am visiting ND over April break for the accepted students (I will visit dartmouth too but I have a better idea of Dartmouth already) and will be in contact with studnets from both schools to get a better idea. Hopefully visiting will help me decide. Another aspect is a grad program at notre dame called the Catholic Alliance for Education (ACE) where you get a masters in education then work in under recourced places for two years to pay it off. Some of my teachers have talked to me about this and I really think it would be an amazing opportunity for me down the line that I hope to do. I worry if going to Dartmouth will reduce my chances of getting accepted to the program as opposed to going ND undergrad. I might reach out to the head of the department and ask about this too. Thanks again for all your help, I’ll keep you posted!

@@federicocigolot7891 thank you so much! I know there are so many factors going into the decision I hope that visiting each school will help me get a better feel. It’s nuts I have a month to decide where I want to spend the next 4 years of my life lol. I will definitely talk to people at each too. I replied to Drews comment with more insight onto how I see each school if you have anything else to say on those topics and the specific grad program that I talked about, but I think pretty much see my values (catholic) aligned more with ND but my personality is like Dartmouth. I know there will be some Catholic student groups at Dartmouth but it just wouldn’t be the same as ND’s dorms, studnet life, and traditions all rooted in that fun stuff. Hopefully I’ll figure it out. Thanks again for your help!

Have you made a decision yet?
