Notes on this filing
  • Year: the filing's costs are for 2025-2026 and admissions are for Fall 2024; the year is set to 2025-26 from the cost section. The H1 year-marker X is not clearly placed between 2024-2025 estimated and 2023-2024 final, so the aid year is unclear.
  • C1: applicant total 3406 is printed in the residency block; the gender rows sum to 3406 only when the 10 unknown-gender applicants are included (men+women=3396). Admits (2512) and enrolled (243) match the printed totals.
  • C2: waitlist policy answer is 'No' by position, and all waitlist counts are blank.
  • C8A/C8F: the SAT/ACT row is checked 'not required for admission, but considered if submitted'. C8F is blank. C8E gives a score deadline of Aug 31, 2025.
  • C9, C11 and C12: score, GPA and percentile fields are blank, so submission rates, percentiles, GPA bands and average GPA are null. pct_below_3_50 cannot be summed from blank bands.
  • C21/C22: early decision is marked not offered. Early action is marked offered (closing Nov 1, notification mid-December); the early action applied/admitted counts are blank, and the 'restrictive' answer appears to be No.
  • C7: the checkmark column placement was read from tab positions; factors are marked as the column they fall under.
  • B4-B11 Fall 2018 cohort: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed (only counts, D=160 of C=338), so grad_rate_4yr is null. The six-year rate is taken from printed line H (0.5888, shown as 58.88).
  • B22 retention 0.755 is shown as 75.5.
  • H2: the first-time full-time first-year column is used. pct_need_fully_met is computed as line H (74) / line D (311) = 23.8. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null.
  • H2 line J (average financial aid package, 30497) is used for avg_need_based_package. Line J is described as the total package, not strictly need-based.
  • G1: the private-institution tuition (37994) is the same for first-year and all undergraduates. Food and housing (9100) is used for room_and_board.
  • B2 total undergraduates is 1644, while B1 total undergraduates is 1656; the difference is not explained.
