Notes on this filing
  • C1: no total row printed; applied (4406), admitted (3410) and enrolled (510) were summed from men/women/another-gender rows (matching the residency table totals).
  • C1: first-time, first-year unknown-gender rows are blank; 'another gender' applied=1 is included in the applied total.
  • C2: waitlist block printed as 95 offered, 95 accepted a place, 1 admitted; the labels were cut off, so counts were mapped by position.
  • C8A: SAT or ACT marked 'Required for some'; C8F clarifies that tests are free for US residents who are not homeschooled and required for homeschooled and international students. Policy summary is consistent with both.
  • C9: SAT and ACT submission counts printed as 96 and 94; only percentages were used for the percent fields.
  • C10: percent in top tenth of class is 17.46; no percentages were printed for the other class-rank bands beyond those in C10 and C11 as listed.
  • B4-B11: the 2019 cohort was used. The 6-year rate of 68% is printed. The 4-year rate is not printed (D = 377 of 663 initial cohort); it was left null rather than computed.
  • B22: retention rate 75.64% printed for the Fall 2024 cohort.
  • C11: GPA bands use the 'Percent (All enrolled students)' column. The 3.50-or-below sum (31.1) is computed from the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and 2.0-2.49 bands; the 2.0-2.49 band was printed as 0.2.
  • G1: first-year and undergraduate columns are identical for tuition, required fees, food and housing; first-year values were used. Private institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are null. The Conservatory program fee of $3,328 is not included in the figures above.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is left null (line d of 384 versus line c of 384 would give 100%). pct_need_fully_met = 75 / 384 = 19.5%.
  • H2 line I (69.3%) is the printed average percent of need met for first-time, first-year students; J and K are the first-time, first-year averages for package and grant.
  • D9 and other transfer items were not needed for this output.
