Notes on this filing
  • Year: filing is labeled 2025-2026 CDS; the G1 and G5 cost headers say 2026-2027 and the H1 aid year is 2025-26 estimated.
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are sums of the gender rows (2457+3662+62; 2357+3529+58; 1075+1496+0) and match the residency totals.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No, so waitlist counts are blank (null).
  • C21 and C22: early decision and early action both answered No.
  • C7: only GPA and test scores show a clear check mark (very important). Other factor boxes appear unmarked in the scan, so they are null rather than inferred.
  • C8A: SAT or ACT, ACT only and SAT only are all marked 'not required for admission, but consider if submitted'. C8E latest test date is blank.
  • C8G placement tests: SAT, ACT, AP, CLEP, institutional exam and ACCUPLACER checked.
  • C11: the 'all enrolled students' column was used. Bands below 3.50 (3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.00-2.49, 1.00-1.99, below 1.0) sum to 80.26.
  • B4-B21: most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2019. Six-year rate 21.77 is printed (line H). The four-year rate is not printed (line D = 160 of 2,393), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B22: retention rate 69 is printed directly.
  • G1: public institution with separate in-district and out-of-state tuition, so tuition is null and in-state and out-of-state figures are used (in-district 4,140; in-state out-of-district 4,140; out-of-state 16,560).
  • H2: first-time first-year column. Line d (awarded any aid) is 1,916; line h (need fully met) is 91; 91/1916 = 4.7%. The brief labels line d as need-based, but the printed line d is 'awarded any financial aid'. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is left null because the filing does not print that percent; the underlying counts are 1,916 of 1,942 students with need.
  • H2 line I (69.20) is the average percent of need met; line J (8,118) is the average aid package; line K (6,810) is the average need-based grant.
