Notes on this filing
  • year assumed 2024-25 from the Fall 2024 reporting date used throughout the filing.
  • C2 waitlist: C202-C204 printed as 0, 0, 0 (offered, accepted a place, admitted).
  • C2101 early decision: plan not offered (N); C2106/C2107 counts not printed.
  • C2201 early action: offered (Y), closing 11-01; applied and admitted counts not printed.
  • C8: C801 Y and C802 'Not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; C8F clarification is blank, so policy is taken from C802-C804 only.
  • C7 factors read from the importance column of C701-C718.
  • GPA distribution taken from the 'All enrolled students' ranges (C1121-C1129); pct_below_3_50 is the sum of C1124-C1129 (11+6+2+1+0+0). Submitted-scores and no-scores ranges are also printed (C1101-C1119).
  • C1202 reports 99.90% of first-time first-year students submitted a GPA.
  • B4-B21 graduation: most recent cohort is Fall 2018. 6-year rate 80% printed at H432. The 4-year rate is not printed; line D completions (971) are not converted into a rate.
  • Fall 2017 cohort section (B501-B532) is blank or shows #DIV/0! and was not used.
  • aid.pct_need_fully_met: H2 line h (73) divided by line d (576, first-time full-time 'awarded any financial aid'), giving 12.7%. Line e (need-based scholarship or grant, 568) would give 12.9%. The filing's label for line d differs from the instruction's 'any need-based aid' wording.
  • aid.pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null.
  • Cost (G1) is absent from the filing; all cost fields are null.
  • Retention rate taken from B2201 (87.5%), which the filing labels as the share of the Fall 2023 first-year cohort enrolled at the Fall 2024 official enrollment date.
  • Several C9 score-range totals do not sum to 100% (e.g., C952 99%, C966 and C973 101%); the printed values were kept as-is.
