Notes on this filing
  • Academic year: CDS is 2024-2025 with Fall 2024 enrollment data; cost figures (G1) are 2025-2026 projections and were marked as not yet final (final expected 6/30/2025).
  • A0A and cover items: no comments entered.
  • C1/C2: applicant, admit and enrollee totals are the sums of the gender rows, matching the residency breakdown totals (10748, 6802, 1822). Waitlist labels were cut off; mapped by position: offered 998, accepted place 344, admitted 157.
  • C8: the admission-use question is answered No, yet C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'considered if submitted' for admission; the filing is inconsistent. Per C8F, scores are used for placement; I used C8A/C8F wording for the policy string.
  • C8G placement tests listed: SAT, ACT, institutional exam, and NYS Regents exams for mathematics and English.
  • C9: SAT composite percentiles are blank; only ERW and Math percentiles are printed. Null used for composite.
  • C21/C22: early decision and early action both answered No; no applicant counts given.
  • B4-B21: the most recent bachelor's cohort reported is Fall 2018; the printed 6-year rate is 57%. A 4-year rate is not printed, so it is left null.
  • C11: GPA bands are percentages of all enrolled students, not of those submitting GPA. pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49, 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands (12+20+25+4+0+0=61).
  • G1: public institution with separate in-district/in-state and out-of-state tuition; tuition left null. Food and housing 16182 is from the first-year column.
  • H1/H2: aid data are marked Estimated for 2024-25; H2 first-time full-time first-year column used. Need fully met computed as 80/938 = 8.5%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed; could be derived as 938/1012 but was left null.
  • H2 avg_need_based_grant uses line K (average need-based scholarship and grant award).
