Notes on this filing
  • Academic year taken as 2025-26: H101 reports 2025-2026 estimated aid data and the admissions data are for Fall 2025 entrants.
  • C2: waitlist block printed without full labels; mapped by position: offered 220, accepted place 220, admitted from waitlist 3.
  • C21: early decision offered (Yes); applied 135 and admitted 67 for the Fall 2025 class. ED closing and notification dates are printed as late 2026 and early 2026, which do not fit a Fall 2025 entering class.
  • C22: early action offered (Yes), but early action applicant and admit counts are not reported. Early action notification date (Dec 31, 2025) is printed as earlier than the closing date (Nov 30, 2026).
  • C8A/C8F/C8: SAT/ACT policy is test-optional in both the C8A/C8 table and the C8F clarification; they agree.
  • C11: GPA bands taken from the 'All enrolled students' column. The 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands are blank. pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and 2.0-2.49 bands (14.2+12.2+7.4+0.3).
  • G1: private institution, single tuition so in-state and out-of-state are null. Fees and food/housing use the first-year column. Food and housing (on-campus) 15760 is double occupancy with 19 meals per week or the maximum plan.
  • B4-B21: the 4-year graduation rate for the 2019 cohort is not printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null. The six-year rate of 70 is printed (H line / B.432).
  • H2: aid uses the first-time, full-time first-year column. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent, so it is null. pct_need_fully_met = 67/234 = 28.6. avg_pct_need_met is 0.8909 printed, shown as 89 (nearest 1%).
  • B22: retention rate 0.8037 is printed for the Fall 2024 entering cohort, shown as 80.4.
