Notes on this filing
- C1: applicant, admit and enrollee counts by sex are blank; totals taken from the residency breakdown (39,332 applied, 13,890 admitted, 1,663 enrolled), which sums correctly.
- C2: waitlist 'number accepting a place' is blank; offered=9168 and admitted=688 are mapped by position.
- C21/C22: early action applicant and admit counts are not printed; early decision and early action closing/notification dates are given in the filing.
- C5/C4: no narrative on test-optional policy beyond C8A checkboxes; C8F clarification is blank.
- C8A: SAT or ACT is marked 'not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; the SAT-only and ACT-only rows carry the same mark.
- B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed (cohort 1,355; 1,014 completed in 4 years) and was not computed, so it is null. The 6-year rate of 87.2% is printed in line H.
- H2: pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (788) / line d (963) for the first-time full-time first-year column = 81.8%.
- H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null.
- G1: required fees and food and housing are blank for first-year undergraduates. Housing-only $3,640 appears only for commuters not living at home in G5, so room_and_board is null.
- H2 line A cohort (1,662) differs slightly from B1 first-time full-time first-year total (1,663).
