Notes on this filing
  • C8: Policy is printed as 'Require for some' and 'Considered if submitted' on the SAT/ACT row; C8F clarifies that scores are optional and required only for home-schooled or descriptive-report-card applicants. Policy applies to fall 2026 applicants per C8A.
  • C2: Waitlist counts are for fall 2023 admissions; the three printed values were mapped by position (offered 215, accepted place 136, admitted 19). Waitlist rows are unlabeled in the PDF.
  • C7: Factor importance is taken from the X marks in the table; 'Please provide additional information' notes audition/interview is very important for Music, Theatre, and Dance programs.
  • C11/C12: High school GPA distribution and average are 'not available' in the filing, so pct_below_3_50 is null rather than summed.
  • C4/C5 and class rank: C10 gives top-10% and top-quarter figures, but no 4-year graduation rate is printed; B4-B11 fall 2018 cohort gives only the six-year rate (76.1%), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • C21: Early decision applications (116) and admits (94) are printed; early action applied and admitted counts are not printed.
  • Cost G1: Used first-year undergraduate column (tuition $56,752; food and housing $16,354). Private institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are null. Required fees are $0.
  • H2: Used first-time full-time first-year column. Percent of those with need who were awarded aid is not printed; counts are 750 of 750 (line d / line c), but no percentage is stated, so left null. pct_need_fully_met = 515 / 750 = 68.7% (line h / line d).
  • H1/H2 figures are 2024-25 estimated, not final 2023-24 figures.
  • B4-B21: The 4-year graduation rate is not stated in the filing; only the six-year rate is printed for the fall 2018 cohort (76.1%).
