Notes on this filing
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No, so waitlist counts left null.
  • B4-B11 Fall 2018 cohort used for 6-year rate (57.4 from printed H line 0.574047448). 4-year graduates reported as 0 in line D, so 0 is entered; the 4-year rate itself is not printed.
  • C8: C8A marks SAT or ACT as required for admission, and C8F says test scores are not required for FTIC earning an AA; summarized both.
  • C21: no early decision plan; C22: nonbinding early action with closing 11/1 and notification 12/15, but applicant and admit counts not printed.
  • G1: only in-district/in-state and out-of-state tuition printed; no single tuition figure, so tuition left null.
  • H2: percent of students awarded need-based aid not printed as a rate (1211 of 2697 line a or 1211 of 1211 line c are not the same measure); left null. pct_need_fully_met = 58/1211 (first-time full-time first-year column).
  • Retention rate 83% is from B22 (Fall 2023 cohort, first-year students).
  • Applicant and admit totals are the sum of the men, women, another gender and unknown rows in C1, matching the printed residency totals.
