Notes on this filing
  • Data reflect Fall 2023 admissions/enrollment and 2023-24 costs and aid; the filing's year is 2023-24, not the 2025-26 example.
  • C8: 'Does your institution make use of SAT or ACT scores' is answered No, but C8F states applicants may submit scores and they are considered; C8F was trusted for the policy.
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals taken from the printed totals (928, 201, 98), which match the sums of the men and women columns.
  • C2: waitlist counts mapped by position: offered 53, accepted a place 33, admitted 10.
  • C21 and C22 (early decision and early action) are blank, so their fields are null.
  • 4-year graduation rate is not printed as a rate; D (66 of 90 completed in four years) is available but was not converted, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • Graduation rate uses the 2017 cohort (six-year rate 92%), the most recent bachelor's cohort reported.
  • H2 uses the full-time first-time first-year column (98 enrolled, 50 with need, 50 awarded any aid).
  • pct_need_fully_met computed as H (50) / D (50) = 100.0 per the instruction.
  • pct_with_need_awarded_aid left null: the filing prints counts but no percent for this item.
  • avg_need_based_package uses J (average financial aid package of all aided students), not a need-based-only figure.
  • Cost uses the first-year column; the school has one tuition rate, so in-state and out-of-state are null.
  • C10 class rank percentages are blank.
