Notes on this filing
  • Private nonprofit institution; no in-state/out-of-state tuition split reported.
  • C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'not required for admission, but consider if submitted' (test-optional), but C7 rates test scores as 'very important'; C8F is blank, so the policy is taken from C8A alone and the two items may be read as inconsistent.
  • C2: waitlist block has three counts in order (offered 3579, accepted 1458, admitted 105); row labels are cut off, so mapped by position.
  • C1 applicants and admits include 2 'another gender' applicants and no 'another gender' admits or enrollees; totals match the sum of gender rows where applicable.
  • C21: early decision applications (1109) and admits (305) reported for Fall 2024.
  • C22: early action offered, but applicant and admit counts were not reported.
  • C11/C12: GPA distribution and average are blank; the zero totals printed on the form are placeholders, not data.
  • B4-B21 (Fall 2018 cohort used): 4-year graduation rate is not printed; the 6-year rate of 93 is taken from line H.
  • H2 (first-time, full-time first-year column): pct_need_fully_met is printed as 100 and matches 215/215; pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so left null.
  • G1 and H1/H2 are different academic years (2025-26 cost vs. 2024-25 aid); values are used as printed.
  • Retention rate taken from B22 (Fall 2023 cohort, Fall 2024 retained) as printed: 95.
