Notes on this filing
  • C1: Applicants reported as 8,511 (sum of men/women/another gender, matching the residency-table total). The C1 footnote also gives 11,334 as first-time, first-year applicants including non-actionable applications; the 8,511 figure is the actioned count used here.
  • C1: Enrolled early decision (270) and early action (98) counts are printed but have no schema field.
  • C2: Waitlist counts mapped by position: offered 696, accepted a place 140, admitted from waitlist 32. Waitlist is not ranked.
  • C8: The SAT/ACT checkbox (not required, considered if submitted) agrees with the C8F clarification ('Test optional'). ACT Writing scores were not reported.
  • C9: Test-score percentiles are for enrolled first-time, first-year students who submitted scores.
  • C11: GPA bands use the 'Percent (All enrolled students)' column. pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the bands from 3.25-3.49 down to below 1.0 (9.1+2.4+0.5+0.2+0+0+0).
  • B4-B21: Graduation rates use the Fall 2018 cohort. The 4-year rate is not printed as a percent (386 of 543 completed in four years, about 71.1%), so grad_rate_4yr is left null. The 6-year rate is 87.7%.
  • G1: Food and housing is blank. Housing is printed as $9,288 and food as $7,376 (G5 food and housing total for commuters not living at home is $16,664), so room_and_board is left null.
  • G1: Single private tuition of $73,038 applies to all students; in-state and out-of-state fields are null.
  • H2: Percent with need awarded aid cannot be stated as a rate from the filing (234 of 476 first-time, full-time first-years were awarded any aid), so it is left null.
  • H2: Percent of need fully met is computed as line h (234) divided by line d (234) = 100.0.
  • Aid figures are 2024-25 estimated (H1 checkbox).
