<p>I got Yale, Princeton, and Stanford…I just loved Yale’s environment and campus over Stanford’s more “bubble” type atmosphere (campus is a bit too spread out in my opinion)…so I chose Yale–it was a really tough decision (as I’m sure it is for anyone on this board)</p>

<p>DunninLA, the paper you cite constructs an example of a revealed preferences ranking. It does not claim to be definitive. The paper is very interesting to read, but it should not be used to claim that one school beats another in cross-admit battles.</p>
