Notes on this filing
  • Admissions applied (2,822) and admitted (2,709) are summed from the male, female and unknown columns in C1 because no total is printed.
  • C1 enrolled total 273 is printed in C1 and the residency table (C2).
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No (AD_WAIT: N); all three waitlist counts left blank.
  • C21/C22: early decision and early action not offered (answered No); application counts left blank.
  • C8A: SAT or ACT 'not required, consider if submitted'; C8F clarification is blank, so policy phrase is based on C8A alone. C8D: test scores used for academic advising.
  • C9: SAT submitted 0%; ACT submitted 4% (10 students), but ACT and SAT percentile score tables are blank.
  • C11: percent below 3.50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49 (11), 3.00-3.24 (18), 2.50-2.99 (22) and 2.0-2.49 (6) bands; the 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands are blank.
  • B4-B11 uses the Fall 2019 bachelor's cohort: 6-year rate printed as 0.47 (150/317). The 4-year rate is not printed; the filing shows 106 completers in four years of an adjusted cohort of 317, so grad_rate_4yr is left null.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed; the counts are 133 awarded aid out of 136 with determined need (line D / line C), so it is left null.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line H (10) / line D (133) = 7.5, as instructed.
  • H1 aid figures are 2025-26 estimated, not final 2024-25. G1 costs are for 2026-27 (tuition is one rate for all students; private school, so in-state and out-of-state are null).
  • Retention rate of 67 is printed in B22 (174 of 261 Fall 2024 entrants).
