Notes on this filing
  • Year assumed to be 2024-25 from the filing's CDS cycle; fall 2024 data.
  • C1 applicant detail sums to 3446 (men 1248 + women 2197 + unknown 1), but the printed total in C2 and the form field is 3444; 3444 used.
  • C1 admits (634 + 1501 = 2135) and enrollees (99 + 173 = 272) match printed totals.
  • C2 waitlist: policy answered No and waitlist counts are blank; all waitlist fields left null.
  • Early decision: C21 answered No. Early action: C22 answered No, but the form field AD_EAD is Y (likely the C19 early admission item); treated as not offered.
  • C8F test clarification is blank; policy summary is based on C8A and C8D checkboxes.
  • G1 costs use the first-year column: required fees 1108 (undergraduate column shows 1608) and food and housing 13600.
  • Four-year graduation rate is not printed; C-row cohort 273 and D-row completers 148 are shown but no rate is stated, so left null.
  • Six-year graduation rate 63 is from the Fall 2018 cohort (most recent bachelor's cohort), line H total column.
  • H2 pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (2) / line d (145) = 1.4%, per the rule for filings that print counts only.
  • H2 pct_with_need_awarded_aid not printed as a percent; left null (line d 145 of line c 147 would be 98.6%).
  • avg_need_based_package uses H2 line J (average financial aid package, first-time first-year column), which is not explicitly labeled need-based.
  • Aid figures are H2 first-time full-time first-year column; H1 and H2 are 2024-25 estimated.
