Notes on this filing
  • C8A: no Yes/No or policy checkbox is visibly marked and C8F is blank, so the test policy could not be determined; C7 lists test scores as 'considered'.
  • C9: SAT/ACT submission percentages and score percentiles are blank.
  • C11/C12: GPA band percentages, average GPA and percent submitting GPA are blank (totals show 0.00), so pct_below_3_50 could not be computed.
  • C2: the institution has no waiting list policy (No checked), so waitlist fields are null; the three numeric rows in the residency table are applicant/admit/enrolled breakdowns, not waitlist counts.
  • C21/C22: no early decision or early action plan (No checked); application counts are null.
  • B4-B21: the 2019 cohort's six-year rate (60.00) is printed. The four-year rate is not printed and was not computed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B22: retention 79 is as printed (2582/3291 = 78.5%).
  • G1: tuition and fee amounts are blank; the filing says final 2026-27 costs will be available 5/15/2026.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = 308/1688 (line h / line d) = 18.2. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null.
  • H2 line J ($14,953) is the average total financial aid package for first-time first-year students, not strictly need-based, and is used as avg_need_based_package.
  • H2 line K ($9,613) is the average need-based scholarship/grant award.
