Notes on this filing
  • Year set to 2023-24 from the Fall 2023 reporting cohort; C8 refers to Fall 2025 admission policies.
  • C1: total applied, admitted and enrolled were summed from the men and women columns (Another Gender blank).
  • C9 and C11 percentages reported as printed; the GPA distribution uses the 'all enrolled students' column, and pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the bands below 3.50 (15.6+9.7+3.2+0.1).
  • C8: the policy checkbox reads 'Not required for admission, but considered for some'; the C8F clarification describes test-optional eligibility, and the two are consistent.
  • Graduation: the most recent cohort is Fall 2017 (AY-7). The 4-year rate is not printed (853 of 1,292 final cohort = 66.0% if computed), so it is left null. The 6-year rate of 75% is as printed.
  • Cost (G1): the first-year column is used. Tuition is listed as 'In-district' ($10,288), and the in-state (out-of-district) field is blank. Mapped to tuition_in_state. Out-of-state adds a $400 Capitol Fee not included in the total.
  • Aid: pct_with_need_awarded_aid = H2 line D (520) / line C (547) = 95.1. pct_need_fully_met = line H (43) / line D (520) = 8.3, as instructed. avg_pct_need_met is line I (66.0%).
  • Early action: 686 enrolled under early action is reported in the filing but has no schema field.
  • Waitlist counts are mapped by position: offered 405, accepted a place 244, admitted from waitlist 242.
