A JUMBO-SIZED PR CONCERN? So, where do today's top high school seniors really want to go to college? Ask an economist -- three of them, actually -- who ran a "matriculation tournament" to determine who's actually most in demand. I.e., "Hey, top high school senior, if you were admitted to both Penn and Dartmouth, which would you attend? What about Georgetown vs. Cornell?" And so on, across more than 3000 "high-achieving students" and a 100+ colleges and universities. They then used these revealed preferences to produce a "truer" ranking of America's top schools, and since it places Amherst markedly ahead of both Swarthmore and The Dark Place, it's indubitably accurate.
