Notes on this filing
  • Year is the CDS 2024-2025 filing; enrollment and first-year data as of Fall 2024 (Oct 15, 2024).
  • Applied/admitted/enrolled are first-time, first-year totals from C1 (men plus women; enrolled includes part-time 60 students).
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No and the waitlist table is blank, so waitlist counts are null.
  • C21/C22: early decision and early action answered No; counts left null.
  • C7: 'rigor' mapped to the Academic record row, which is the closest match to the schema field; the record is marked very important.
  • C7: state residency is marked very important, religious affiliation not considered, geographical residence not considered.
  • C8A/C8F: SAT or ACT is 'Required for some'; C8F says students with weighted HS GPA below 2.8 must submit a score, and students at 2.8 or higher need not. Both agree.
  • B4-B11: most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018. The 6-year rate of 62.6% is printed in line H. No 4-year rate is printed (line D/C would be 43.3%, but it was not computed), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B22: retention rate 82.72% as printed.
  • G1: public institution; in-district tuition is blank, so only in-state (out-of-district) $4,452 and out-of-state $20,729 are filled. Required fees $2,909. Housing-only ($6,498) and food-only ($4,852) are printed, but no combined food-and-housing figure is printed, so room_and_board is null.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column. pct_need_fully_met = 181 / 2,208 = 8.2%, computed per the rule. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percentage, so it is null.
  • I/J/K values are from the first-time first-year column (56.0%, $11,239, $9,952).
  • Tuition for 2025-26 was not yet available (final figures expected March 31, 2025).
