Notes on this filing
- C2: waitlist offered and accepted counts are blank; only the admitted-from-waitlist count (295) is printed.
- C8A checks 'required to be considered' for SAT or ACT for Fall 2027; C8F clarification is blank, so the policy is taken from C8A alone.
- C8G: AP and institutional exam used for placement.
- C12 and C11: GPA average, percent submitting GPA and GPA band percentages are blank; the 0.00 totals are placeholders, so GPA fields are null.
- C13: application fee $80, waivable for financial need; same fee online.
- Early decision figures (5,062 applied; 907 admitted) are for the Fall 2024 entering class, per item C21, not Fall 2025.
- Early action: C22 answered No.
- Retention rate uses the printed 98.8 (B22 shows 99 as a rounded value; 1695/1716 is 98.8).
- Graduation: the printed 6-year rate (H, Fall 2019 cohort) is 95.6. The filing does not print a 4-year rate; the 4-year completers were 1,235 of 1,652 in the adjusted cohort, but no rate is stated, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
- Cost (G1): single tuition figure is listed for all students (private); in-state and out-of-state are null. Room and board is the food and housing figure.
- Aid: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and not among the permitted computations, so it is null. pct_need_fully_met = H2 line h (860) / line d (882) = 97.5. Aid figures are first-time first-year column (H2 and H1 for 2025-26 estimated).
- H2 averages: avg_need_based_grant is line K (average need-based scholarship or grant award).
