i see here already wrote good answers, but sometime to write the same in other form can be helpful
<div ng-app ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<select ng-model="referral.organization" ng-options="c for c in organizations"></select>
</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function MyCtrl($scope) {
$scope.organizations = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'];
$scope.referral = {
organization: $scope.organizations[2]
};
}
</script>
