all ivy league schools are targets ul be fine

dm me

It's definitely a target school.  If you put in the work, you will be able to get a handful of opportunities.  There is a Dartmouth presence at most banks and the alumni appear to be pretty loyal.  It is definitely not below Vanderbilt with respect to banking recruiting and and will position you similarly to a Duke or Brown, if not better.  

Yes, there are plenty of spots reserved for diversity recruiting, but there will definitely be a lot of kids who look like you from target schools who break into banking.

Although this forum likes to classify and bucket things, it is obvious that you will have any opportunity you put the work in for at Dartmouth (and any Ivy).

Even "semi-targets" on this forum do not, in any way, deny you any opportunity in IB.

- OCR is overrated.

- There are plenty of alumni from any large/well known school at any bank 

- Banks don't filter based on whether a school's a target or not (with that being said, there are some pipelines limited to OCR, EVR comes to mind)

It's obviously a target...not at the H/W for buy-side opportunities but I would say right below. I'm not gonna search it up for you but there are tons of threads discussing the 8 Ivies and Dartmouth always comes up as a very strong place to be.

As a Dartmouth alum this is crazy to see. Carlyle, TPG, Apollo, Lone Pine and other legendary funds were founded or co-founded by Dartmouth alums. At the junior level IB/PE opps are elite and Dartmouth is probably the only school besides H/W that regularly sends kids to the BX analyst program. Finance is a different world than US news where we're dinged for being a hybrid LAC/university lol

Edit: small sample size but this video highlights strength at megafunds in particular

Most people I know place it in tier 2/3, below the usual hypertargets but above S, M, P, Columbia, Brown, Duke, etc. Top non-HYW ivy.

Is it common to land a tech group at GS/MS/JPM from Dartmouth? As semi-diverse (woman, LGBT, etc.) specifically.

Dartmouth undergrad here- literally every person who wants an ib or pe offer gets one- know multiple people going to every bb (gs/ms/jpm/baml/citi) or eb (evr/laz/pjt/moe) and many of the top pe/vc progrmas (bx/insight/wp/bain cap/ bcc)

Even umm funds are just recruiting directly now like cd&&r, gtcr etc.

Consulting recruiting is also insane

I've seen a lot of insane threads on WSO but this is among the worst. I went to Dartmouth so take this with a grain of salt, but outside of H/W (and maybe Stanford/Princeton/Yale/Columbia), which will give you a small relative leg up/more opps, there's no school better than Dartmouth. Pretty much every single bank recruits on campus and most PE funds with analyst programs will also recruit from D. If you aren't getting a role out of D, you almost definitely weren't getting it anywhere. The school is just about as as "target" as they come outside the ones listed above.
