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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erosanddust Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
