Notes on this filing
  • C1: Total first-time, first-year applicants printed as 10836, but men (3535) plus women (7459) sum to 10994; the printed total was used.
  • C1: Enrolled 1012 = 373 men + 639 women (638 full-time and 1 part-time women); consistent.
  • C2: Waitlist policy marked No and the waitlist count rows are blank; all three waitlist values left null.
  • C8A: 'No' is checked for using SAT/ACT in admissions, but the grid shows SAT or ACT as 'Recommended'. C8F is blank, so the 'No' answer was used. Conflict noted.
  • C8A: SAT/ACT placement use is marked in C8G (SAT and ACT both checked).
  • C9: Percent submitting SAT is 46.00 (465 students) and ACT is 5.00 (46 students). SAT composite and all ACT score percentiles are blank.
  • C21/C22: Early decision and early action yes/no boxes are unchecked; the data fields are blank, so offered and counts are null.
  • C7: Academic GPA factor has no box checked, so it is null.
  • B22: Retention rate box is blank.
  • GRS (Fall 2018 cohort): 4-year line D is 0 of 937 and 6-year line G is 286 of 937 (about 30.5%), but the rate lines H are blank, so the rates are null.
  • H2: Full-time first-time first-year counts (702 enrolled aid recipients basis; line d 664) differ from the C1 full-time first-time enrollment of 1011; aid figures use H2 column values.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent (line d 664 / line c 667 would be about 99.6), so it was left null.
  • H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package, 19832), since no need-only package figure is printed.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h 40 / line d 664 = 6.0%.
  • G1: Private institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are null; room_and_board is Food and Housing (on-campus) 10396.
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 = 14 + 21 + 33 + 1 = 69; the 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands are blank.
  • Year reflects the 2024-2025 CDS, with Fall 2024 enrollment and admissions data.
