<p>saw this interesting study in the cornell thread indicating students’ revealed preferences - which touches on some of what I read in this thread about ‘winning cross applicants’. it wd have been nice to see this done each yr (this was done in 2005) to see trends. w/ NU at I thnk I recall, 23 or something, it means it wins ~pretty often. compare to Washu at 64 or 5!</p>
