Notes on this filing
  • C1/C2: Applicants, admits and enrollees are first-time, first-year degree-seeking totals (men+women+unknown); totals match the residency table (7956 / 5273 / 671).
  • C2: waitlist block mapped by position: offered 403, accepted a place 12, admitted from waitlist 5.
  • C21: early decision applied 93 and admitted 87 are for the Fall 2024 entering class, not Fall 2025.
  • C22: early action is offered but no applicant or admit counts are printed; set to null.
  • C8A: test policy checkboxes apply to Fall 2027 admission; C8F is N/A, so the policy phrase relies on C8A alone.
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2019 cohort): 4-year graduation rate is not printed (completers in four years = 436 of 678), so grad_rate_4yr is null; 6-year rate of 72.00 is as printed.
  • B22: retention rate 82 is as printed (545 of 664 retained); the filing prints only the rounded percentage.
  • G1: private institution; tuition 53186 applies to all undergraduates; in-state and out-of-state fields left null. Food and housing 12862 used as room_and_board.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid computed as line d / line c (407/407) for the first-time, first-year column; pct_need_fully_met computed as line h / line d (88/407 = 21.6), following the stated rule.
  • H1: aid reported on Federal Methodology for 2024-25 final figures.
