Notes on this filing
  • C2: waitlist counts (offered, accepted, admitted) are blank, though a waitlist policy is marked Yes.
  • C2: ranked-waitlist question left blank.
  • C1: early decision applicant and admit counts (C21) are blank; early action counts (C22) are blank.
  • C1: residency breakdown for applicants/admits/enrolled is only partly filled (in-state and out-of-state blank; international blank).
  • C1: enrolled first-time first-year total of 505 is the sum of full-time men (260) and women (245); part-time counts are zero.
  • B4-B21: the printed 4-year graduation figure is not reported; grad_rate_4yr left null. Six-year rate of 76% is from the Fall 2018 cohort (line H, total column).
  • B22: retention rate of 89.57% is printed as given.
  • H2: line a shows 507 first-time full-time first-year students, versus 505 first-time enrolled in B2/C1; the filing does not reconcile these.
  • H2: the share of students with need who were awarded aid is not printed; pct_with_need_awarded_aid left null.
  • H2: the fully-met rate is computed as line h (93) divided by line d (280) = 33.2%.
  • H1: aid figures are for 2024-2025 estimated; H2 and I/J/K first-time figures are used as printed.
  • G1: tuition of $60,310 applies to all students; in-state and out-of-state are null because the school is private.
  • Test-optional policy: some SAT/ACT percentages may overlap, as the filing does not state whether the 58% and 18% are exclusive.
