Notes on this filing
  • Year taken from filing title 'Common Data Set 2024-2025' (Fall 2024 data).
  • Admissions counts are first-time, first-year degree-seeking students; applied total 8759 matches sum of C1 gender rows (3848+4847+63+1).
  • C2 waitlist block: three counts mapped by position (offered 615, accepted place 243, admitted 59); labels partly cut off.
  • C21: early decision not offered. C22: early action offered, but early action applied and admitted counts are not printed.
  • C8A says SAT/ACT is 'not required for admission, but consider if submitted'; C8F adds the homeschool exception (under 30 semester/45 quarter credits must submit). The two are consistent; C8F's exception is included in the policy phrase.
  • C8 header references Fall 2026 and C13 references Fall 2026 admission cycle, while the rest of the filing is Fall 2024; likely a template carryover.
  • B4-B21: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed as a rate (only counts: 885 of 1195 completed in four years), so grad_rate_4yr is null rather than computed. 6-year rate 86.00 is from the Fall 2018 cohort (most recent bachelor's cohort).
  • B22 retention rate 93.00 is for the Fall 2023 entering cohort.
  • G1 section header says FULL 2025-2026 academic year while the G-section title and filing year are 2024-25; the figures are used as printed. Private institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are null.
  • H1/H2 aid data is the 2023-2024 Final year per the checked box; H2 uses the first-time, full-time first-year column. pct_need_fully_met = 443 / 728 (line d, students awarded any aid) = 60.9.
  • aid.pct_with_need_awarded_aid left null: no printed rate and not computed under the allowed rules.
  • C11: avg GPA 3.66 is for students who submitted GPA; the all-enrolled column is used for the GPA bands. pct_below_3_50 = 16.83 + 7.97 + 2.49 = 27.29.
