A few others, mainly private schools, may also fall outside the categorization: BC, Wake, Vanderbilt, Rice, Tulane and possibly BYU.

Charging $70+k / year requires most of these schools to have a genuine national draw. Many wouldn’t be viable at their targeted academic profile if overly reliant on a regional draw.

The academic orientation at Georgia Tech may also move it outside of a regional characterization.
