Notes on this filing
  • A0-A1/Admissions: no applicant, admit or enrollee grand totals are printed in C1; applied, admitted and enrolled are sums of the male, female and unknown (0) rows.
  • C1 residency breakdown (in-state 4456 + out-of-state 7418 = 11874 applicants) does not match the gender-sum total of 12141; not reconciled.
  • C2: policy of waitlisting is 'No', so waitlist counts are left null.
  • C8A/C8F: C8A marks SAT or ACT as required for some, recommended and not required but considered if submitted; the C8F clarification box is blank.
  • C9: SAT and ACT percentile scores are reported for enrolled first-time students; ACT writing reported as 0 and not used.
  • C12: average GPA 3.89 for students who submitted GPA (98.78%).
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49 (2.10), 3.00-3.24 (0.41), 2.50-2.99 (0.12), 2.0-2.49 (0.03) and below-2.0 bands (0.00), giving 2.66.
  • B4-B21 (Fall 2019 cohort): the 4-year graduation rate is not printed as a rate, so grad_rate_4yr is null. The 6-year rate is 0.807484220018034 (80.748%), converted to a percent.
  • G1: tuition is two-tier (LDS $7,096 / non-LDS $14,192). The non-LDS rate is entered as tuition; the LDS rate is not captured in the schema.
  • H1: aid data is 2024-2025 final, not 2025-26 estimated.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (14) / line d (1306) = 1.1%; the filing's line d is labeled as aid recipients rather than need-based aid, and using line e (1244) gives the same rounded result.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not stated in the filing, so it is null.
  • H2: avg_need_based_package is line j (10,450) and avg_need_based_grant is line k (9,138), first-time full-time column.
  • G1 required fees and room/board reported as printed ($0 and $11,200 food and housing).
