  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals taken from the printed residency-table totals (11478, 10665, 1188); these equal the sums of the gender rows.
  • C2: waitlist policy marked No; all waitlist counts left blank.
  • C8: SAT/ACT not used in admission decisions (No marked); C8A and C8F blank; C8G shows institutional exam for placement only.
  • C9/C9-C12 test score distribution and percent submitting SAT/ACT are blank; no test percentiles reported.
  • C11: GPA bands sum to 100%; pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.00-2.49, 1.00-1.99 and below-1.0 bands (20+19+17+7+0+0).
  • B4-B11: the most recent cohort is Fall 2018. Six-year rate printed as 0.617021277 (61.7%). No four-year rate is printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B22: retention printed as 77.60%.
  • H2 (first-time full-time first-year column): pct_need_fully_met = 91 / 843 = 10.8%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null.

  • G1: private institution with a single tuition rate; in-state and out-of-state fields are null. Room and board uses the on-campus food and housing figure for first-year students.
