Notes on this filing

Admissions totals computed by summing gender columns (C1); they match the printed residency totals (51,024 applied, 37,607 admitted, 4,679 enrolled).
C1 enrolled total is full-time plus part-time across men, women and another gender.
C2: waitlist block mapped by position: offered 1,322; accepted a place 869; admitted from waitlist 255.
C21/C22: early decision and early action Yes/No boxes are blank and no ED/EA counts are printed, so offered and counts are null.
C7: factors mapped from the checked column; rigor and GPA are very important, extracurriculars, first generation, geographic residence, volunteer work and work experience are considered.
C8A: no checkboxes marked; policy taken from C8F clarification ('no longer considered for admissions starting Fall 2021'), and C8 is answered No.
C9-C12: SAT/ACT submission percentages and score percentiles are blank, so the test fields are null.
Graduation: 6-year rate of 68% is printed (2018 cohort, B4-B11). The 4-year rate is not printed (D line gives 1,271 of 3,776 completers), so it is left null.
Retention rate 87.4% is from B22 (Fall 2023 cohort).
Cost: public institution, first-year column. Tuition in-district and in-state (out-of-district) are both $6,084; tuition is left null. Room and board is the on-campus food and housing figure. Costs are 2025-26 estimates per G, with final figures due 06/2025.
H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. Aid percent with need awarded is ambiguous and not printed, so it is null (D/C=99.5% or D/A=66.8% could be derived but were not computed). Fully-met percent = 12/3,064 = 0.4%.
H2 line I (71.3%) is the average percentage of need met for the first-year column; line J is the average package ($16,419); line K is the average need-based grant ($12,924).
