Notes on this filing

Filing is labeled CDS 2024-2025; admissions, enrollment and retention data refer to Fall 2024.
C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are the sums of the gender rows (3433+4404+70+0; 2758+3492+56+0; 470+649+7+0); they match the residency table totals.
C2: the three waitlist counts were mapped by position (offered 65, accepted place 32, admitted 19); the labels are partly cut off in the PDF.
C8A: a 'Not required, consider if submitted' box is checked for all three SAT/ACT rows; C8F clarification is blank. Section heading and C13 text say 'Fall 2026' although the data are Fall 2024.
C21: early decision is marked No. C22: early action is Yes, but its applicant and admit counts are not printed.
B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed (only the components D=825 and cohort C=1117 are). The 6-year rate of 82.81 is from the Fall 2018 cohort, the most recent bachelor's cohort reported.
G1: the first-year and all-undergraduate columns are identical; the tuition is a single private rate (no in-state/out-of-state split). Room and board is the 'Food and Housing (on-campus)' figure.
H1/H2: aid data are 2023-24 final, not the 2024-25 year. H2 first-time first-year column used. Line d is labeled 'awarded any financial aid' in the filing; the pct_need_fully_met figure is 183/542 as instructed.
H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was not computed, so it is null.
C9: percent of enrolled first-time students submitting SAT is 9.77 (110 students) and ACT is 40.85 (460 students).
B1: undergraduate total 4647 matches the printed Total All Undergraduates.
