Notes on this filing
  • C2: waitlist count rows are blank; the numbers printed in that block are residency breakdowns of applicants/admits/enrollees, not waitlist counts, so waitlist fields are null.
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled are sums of men and women (12235+19276, 7710+13128, 1571+2661); they match the printed totals.
  • C21/C22: early decision and early action marked No; counts left null.
  • C8A: Yes; SAT or ACT required for all applicants. C8F clarification blank. C8G lists AP, CLEP and institutional exams for placement only, not admission.
  • C10: class rank percentages not used in output because the schema has no field for them; the filing reports 64.18% of first-time students submitted class rank.
  • C11: GPA percentages taken from the 'all enrolled students' column. 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 (13.83+8.26+1.07+0.19+0.02+0.00).
  • B4-B21: most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018. Six-year rate 0.63 is printed. The 4-year rate is not printed; line D/C would be 1546/3115 but was not computed, so it is null.
  • B22: retention rate 0.84 printed for the Fall 2023 cohort.
  • B1: total undergraduates 24942 printed in B1 and B2.
  • G1: first-year column used. Public institution: in-district and in-state (out-of-district) both 6099; out-of-state 21655. Required fees row is blank, so null. Food and housing 15860. The G1 instruction text mentions 2025-2026 while the form header says 2024-2025; values taken as printed.
  • H1/H2: aid data reflects the 2023-24 final academic year per the checkbox, not 2024-25.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (162) / line d (2112) = 7.7%, following the stated rule. Line d is 'awarded any financial aid', not need-based only.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid left null (not printed). avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package, 16832), which is not strictly need-based; avg_need_based_grant is line K (10469).
  • C8A text reads 'Fall 2026' while the form is for Fall 2024 admissions; treated as a typo.
