Notes on this filing
  • Admissions applied, admitted and enrolled totals are men plus women (C1 prints no totals and no other-gender or unknown counts).
  • C1 enrolled 2,566 matches the sum of full-time and part-time first-time first-year enrollees.
  • C2 waitlist counts mapped by position: offered 809, accepted a place 282, admitted from waitlist 228. Waitlist is not ranked.
  • C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'not required, but consider if submitted'; C8F describes a test-optional policy. These agree.
  • C9 test-score percentile rows are reported; ACT writing was blank and is not included.
  • C11 pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the bands 3.25-3.49 through below 1.0 for all enrolled students (11.02+8.21+8.13+0.95+0.04).
  • C11 GPA bands use the all-enrolled-students column.
  • B4-B11 Fall 2018 cohort (bachelor's): six-year rate 67.80 printed; Fall 2017 cohort printed 70.00. The four-year rate is not printed (1,410 completers of a final cohort of 2,565 are listed in line D), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • H2 pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (250) divided by line d (2,191) for first-time first-year students, rounded to one decimal.
  • H2 pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed; line d (2,191) over line c (2,193) would give about 99.9, but it is left null.
  • H2 avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package, first-year). avg_need_based_grant uses line K.
  • G1 first-year costs: private tuition 45,195; required fees 954; food and housing 19,095. No in-state or out-of-state split applies.
  • Fall 2024 first-time first-year applicant and admit counts are first-time, first-year degree-seeking figures from C1.
  • Early action applicant and admit counts are not reported (left null). Early decision is not offered (AD_EDEC: N).
