Notes on this filing
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No and the waitlist table is blank; waitlist fields left null. The 18548/14416/1338 figures in the residency table match C1 totals.
  • C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals are sums of the men and women columns (8037+10511, 5852+8564, 530+808); no total was printed.
  • C21 and C22: early decision and early action not offered (No checked); application counts left null.
  • C8A and C8F agree: SAT/ACT 'required for some' with the C8F clarification that students under a 2.5 HS GPA must submit scores.
  • B4-B11: the Fall 2019 cohort was used. The six-year rate of 46% is printed in row H. The four-year rate is not printed (row D 521 / row C 2123), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met = line h 174 / line d 1129 = 15.4. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null.
  • H2 line J is the average financial aid package for all awarded students, not need-based only; it is reported as avg_need_based_package. Aid figures are labeled 2024-2025 Final in the H section.
  • G1: public institution; first-year tuition is 17100 for every residency category, so it is entered in the in-state and out-of-state fields with tuition left null. Room and board is the first-year food and housing figure of 13810.
  • Retention rate 71.62% is as printed in B22; the cohort is Fall 2024.
