Notes on this filing
  • C8A and C8F policy checkboxes and clarification are blank, and C8D and C8G are blank; test policy left null. C8E gives a latest score receipt date of 1-May.
  • C2: waitlist policy is 'Yes', but all three waitlist counts (offered, accepted, admitted) are blank.
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals match the residency table (9,558 / 3,757 / 461). Enrolled 461 = 209 men + 248 women + 4 another gender, with no part-time first-time enrollees.
  • C21: early decision not offered. C22: nonbinding early action offered (closing 11/15, notification 12/15), but EA applied and admitted counts are not reported.
  • C11: all GPA band percentages are blank, although the totals rows print 0.00%. pct_below_3_50 is therefore null.
  • C5/C6: the high school units table lists 15 recommended units (English 4, math 3, science 3 incl. 1 lab physical and 1 biological, foreign language 3, social studies 2). The C6 open-admission checkbox is not marked.
  • G5/G1: room and board is not printed as a combined figure; housing only ($8,498) and food only ($5,120) are given separately, so room_and_board is null.
  • G1: tuition is a single rate ($59,226) for all undergraduates, so in-state and out-of-state fields are null.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not stated as a printed figure (line D 350 vs line C 350 would be a derived value), so it is left null. pct_need_fully_met = line h 78 / line d 350 = 22.3%, first-time first-year column.
  • B4-B11: the four-year graduation rate is not printed (only the cohort counts), so grad_rate_4yr is null. grad_rate_6yr is the 2018 cohort total (74.7%), the most recent cohort with a printed six-year rate.
  • H9/H10: notification and reply dates for first-year students are not in the schema and were not extracted.
