GT has an extremely high revealed preference ranking, for whatever reason… i also cannot put my finger on it:

Northwestern
Georgia Tech
UC - Berkeley


now status and a public school as well as a specialty (all girls, religion) both clearly add places to a school in this ranking, though i don’t know if “tech” is considered a specialty

according to this ranking, GTech is the third most preferred tech school in the country, and the ranking looks like this


Caltech
MIT
Georgia Tech


granted, there are other places to study engineering besides tech schools, but what to make of this data?
