Notes on this filing
  • C2: waitlist policy is yes, but the offered, accepted and admitted counts are blank.
  • C21/C22: early decision and early action offered-status boxes and counts are blank, so offered is null.
  • C8A and C8F: C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'not required, considered if submitted'; C8F describes test-optional only for GPA 3.4+, with scores encouraged below 3.4. These are broadly consistent; C8F is more specific and was used for the policy summary. Both refer to Fall 2026 admission.
  • C9-C12: test score submission, score percentiles, score bands, high school GPA and class rank are blank. C11 band cells and C12 show 0.00 placeholders, which look unpopulated, so they were set to null.
  • B4-B11: the Fall 2018 bachelor's cohort was used. The filing prints only the six-year rate (0.528638883, shown as 52.86). The four-year rate is not printed, so it is null even though counts exist.
  • B1: the 'Total all students' Men (10,430) and Women (15,494) do not equal undergraduate plus graduate totals by gender (men 13,758; women 21,208). Grand total 34,966 matches undergraduate 27,438 plus graduate 7,528.
  • B22: retention rate 77.75% is for the Fall 2023 cohort.
  • G (cost) and H (aid) sections are not included in the document, so all cost and aid fields are null.
  • Applications, admits and enrolled totals were summed from the C1 gender rows and match the printed residency totals.
