this program is basically a waste of time and money.  The Dartmouth reputation really doesn't extend to this non-degree.  I attended the program and definitely regret it.  The classes are a joke and fail in comparison to regular Dartmouth undergrad or grad school courses.  Had some friends who went on to PhD's - but I believe they could have and would have anyway without this aimless pit stop.  aside from the cost, disregard by the academic community, uselessness of the degree and cost (did I mention the cost?), basic lack of admission standards - the worst part is that you don't graduate with a group of like minded peers in a professional track, you are a herd of cats.  useless. Either get into a real master's program in a subject or don't go to grad school.  Whatever you do - don't do this program (OR ANY other MALS program at any school in the world). 

I ended up going for Boston College instead - I quite like the phrase of "a herd of cats".

Does anybody remember that spreadsheet that compiled rough admission numbers/%s from schools last year? I was looking around and have been unable to find it.

You mean the one with the fellowships and all?

For some reason, I remember one with admission statistics on it (eg. x number of admits out of y number of applicants). But thanks for the funding one -- another great resource!

You can look up programs on petersons.com. A lot of programs list their admissions statistics, but some do not.
