Notes on this filing
  • Filing is the Common Data Set 2024-2025; admissions data are for Fall 2024 first-time, first-year degree-seeking students.
  • C1: totals computed as men + women (16944 + 17454 applied; 9066 + 11564 admitted; 1429 + 1114 enrolled). No other-gender or unknown rows were filled in.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No and all three waitlist counts are blank.
  • C21 and C22: no early decision or early action plan (both answered No).
  • C8A: SAT/ACT marked 'not required for admission, but consider if submitted'; C8F clarification is blank. C8E latest score date is Feb 1.
  • C9 and C12: percent and number submitting SAT/ACT and score percentiles are blank; only the GPA submission rate (99%) is reported.
  • C10: high school class rank percentages are blank; class rank is marked not considered in C7.
  • C11: GPA bands sum to 100%. pct_below_3_50 = 39.10 + 4.46 + 0.05 = 43.61, computed as instructed.
  • B4-B11: most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018. The six-year rate of 57.00 is printed. The four-year rate is not printed (completers within four years = 522 of 1,804), so it is left null.
  • G1: first-year column used. Public tuition is split by in-district/in-state (6930) and out-of-state (18600), so the single tuition field is null. Room and board is not printed as a combined figure; housing only is 13536 and food only is 3652, so it is left null.
  • H1/H2: the filing marks 2023-24 final figures for H1 and H2. The aid figures use the first-time, full-time first-year column (line d = 2248; line h = 84; 84/2248 = 3.7%).
  • H2: the hidden field for the fully-met row shows 56, which conflicts with the 3.7% computed from the counts; the computed value is used.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not a printed figure, so it is left null.
  • B22: retention rate of 79% is for the Fall 2023 full-time first-time cohort.
