Notes on this filing
  • Year is the CDS 2024-2025 filing; costs in G1 are labeled as 2024-25 figures.
  • C2: waitlist counts (offered, accepted place, admitted) are all blank; waitlist policy Yes/No boxes are blank.
  • C8A: SAT/ACT marked 'Not required for admission, but considered' under the admission policy; C8F clarification is blank, so the policy phrase relies on C8A alone.
  • C9: the SAT 'Writing' row (660/695/730) is mapped to sat_erw; the filing does not label it explicitly as Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.
  • C11 GPA bands are blank and C12 shows 0.00 average and 0.00% submitting; treated as not reported.
  • C7: Geographical residence, work experience, level of interest and alumni relation are marked 'Considered'; the C7 checkbox positions were read from the layout.
  • B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed (the 2018 cohort 4-year count 466 of 610 is not used); the 6-year rate of 84% is taken from line H of the Fall 2018 cohort.
  • B22 retention of 90.2% is for the Fall 2023 entering cohort.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null; pct_need_fully_met computed as 291/291 = 100.0 per the allowed rule (H2 line h over line d); the H2 values are first-time full-time first-year.
  • G1: the tuition figure is the first-year and undergraduate figure, both $70,566; room_and_board uses the food and housing figure ($6,654).
  • H4 gives 515 students in the 2024 class, while B3 gives 514 bachelor's degrees for July 2023-June 2024; the time periods differ.
  • C2 Yes/No for ranked waitlist shows only an unclear mark; not extracted.
