[quote=Anonymous]There have been studies done regarding "cross-admits" and on college bound high school students preferences.
You can research the Parchment cross admit data on your own.

One other researcher on another website (Quora) shared a study--now dated--from 2004 of the preferences of college bound high school students. Again, this study is dated 2004 so take it as you like.

The college preferences of high school students:

1) Harvard
2) Yale
3) Stanford
4) Caltech
5) MIT
6) Princeton
7) Brown
8) Columbia
9) Amherst College
10) Dartmouth College
11) Wellesley College
12) Univ. of Penn.
13) Notre Dame
14) Swarthmore College
15) Cornell
16) Georgetown
17) Rice
18) Williams College
19) Duke
20) Virginia
21) Northwestern
22) Pomona College
23) UCal-Berkeley
24) Georgia Tech
25) Middlebury College
26) Wesleyan University
27) Univ. of Chicago
28) Johns Hopkins

Williams College is listed at #18. This is interesting because during this time period Williams College was consistently ranked at #1 or #2 Best LAC by US News.

I realize that this is not the same as an actual cross-admit preference data study, but it might be helpful to some.

Among LACS, #9 Amherst College was the top ranked preference followed by Wellesley College, then Swarthmore College, then Williams, Pomona, & Middlebury.
