Notes on this filing
  • Filing is CDS 2024-2025; admissions and enrollment are Fall 2024 (as of Oct 15, 2024); year field set to 2024-25.
  • C1: admitted and enrolled totals taken from the total-level fields (AP_ADMT_1ST_N 3844, EN_TOT_1ST_N 474); gender breakdowns do not sum exactly to totals (applicant gender includes 1 non-binary and 1 unknown).
  • C2: waitlist counts mapped by position: offered 111, accepted place 109, admitted 3. Ranked-waitlist questions left blank.
  • C7: factor levels read from checkboxes; they match the stored field codes.
  • C8A/C8E: SAT/ACT required for none; latest test score date is March 15. C8F clarification is blank. Filing also lists AP as a placement test (C8G).
  • C8D: test scores not used for academic advising.
  • C4: college-preparatory program recommended, not required (C3 GED accepted).
  • Early action is offered (C22, closing Nov 15, notification Dec 15), but C22 does not give applicant or admit counts, so those are null. Early decision is not offered (C21).
  • B4-B11: most recent cohort is Fall 2018. Six-year rate 65.8 (381 of 579 final cohort, printed as 0.66 / 0.65803). Four-year rate not printed as a percent; 339 completed in four years or less and the final cohort is 579, so it was left null rather than computed.
  • G1: first-year tuition is $52,690 with no in-state/out-of-state split (private). Required fees $946 first-year (undergraduate column $746). Room and board $15,176 (food and housing, on-campus). Cost figures are for 2025-26 per G1 instructions.
  • H1/H2: aid figures are 2023-24 final (ACAD_YR 2023), not 2024-25 estimates; the first-time first-year column is used. H2 line d (345 awarded any aid) is used as the denominator for the fully-met percent, and H2 line c (345 with need) is used for pct_with_need_awarded_aid, which therefore comes to 100. The schema does not say which denominator to use for that field.
  • H2: avg_pct_need_met is line I (57.50); avg_need_based_package is line J ($30,501); avg_need_based_grant is line K ($27,714).
  • B22 retention rate 75.80 is for the Fall 2023 full-time first-time cohort.
