Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are sums of the male and female rows (3347+3383; 396+500; 184+213); no unknown-sex students reported.
  • C2: waitlist block has three printed counts, mapped by position: 1,342 offered a place, 784 accepted a place, 11 admitted from the waitlist. Labels are cut off in the PDF.
  • C2: waitlist ranking left blank, and the release questions were not answered.
  • C8A/C8F: SAT or ACT checked as 'not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; C8F clarification blank, so no conflict.
  • C12: GPA average and GPA bands are marked n/a, so GPA fields are null. C11 class rank data (19% submitted; top tenth 93%, top quarter 100%) are not part of this schema.
  • B4-B11: 2019 cohort (6-year rate printed as 89%). The 4-year completion rate is not printed; only counts are given (D total 287 of 363 final cohort), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B22 retention rate 93.02% is printed for the Fall 2025 cohort.
  • G1: private institution with one tuition rate; first-year column used for fees ($863) and food and housing ($20,554). Undergraduate-column fees were $552.
  • H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met computed as 194/194 = 100.0 (line h / line d). The filing does not print a percent of students awarded any aid, so pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null.
  • H1/J/K: 'avg_need_based_package' is taken from J (average financial aid package of line d, $67,846), which is not strictly need-based. avg_need_based_grant is from K ($70,214), first-year column.
  • H-section aid figures are labeled 2025-2026 Estimated (the 2024-25 final column is blank).
