Notes on this filing

Year given as 2023-24 (CDS collection year); the filing's fall reference date is October 15, 2023.
Applied, admitted and enrolled totals are summed from the C1 gender rows (no total printed); enrolled 1,815 matches the FT+PT first-time count.
C2: waitlist policy checkbox and all waitlist count rows are blank; no waitlist values reported.
C11: GPA band percentages are blank (band totals show 0.00); pct_below_3_50 cannot be summed.
C21/C22: early decision and early action both marked No. The form field AD_EAD=Y corresponds to C19 (early admission of high school students), not early action.
C8A/C8F: SAT or ACT not required but considered if submitted; C8F says scores can improve decisions and students under 3.0 GPA are conditionally admitted unless 18+ ACT or equivalent SAT.
B4-B11 Fall 2017 cohort: 4-year rate not printed as a percent (grid total 356 of 1,115 final cohort); left null rather than computed. 6-year rate 51.12 is printed (line H).
H2 first-time first-year: line h (need fully met) is blank and line i (avg % need met) is blank, so those are null. Line c equals line d (1,907), and the printed rate was not given, so pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null.
H2 line a for first-time first-year is 1,911, while B1/C1 first-time first-year enrollment is 1,815; the filing does not reconcile these.
G1: public institution with in-district tuition $343 and out-of-state $686; in-state (out-of-district) row is blank but G6 shows $343, so in-state is set to 343 and tuition left null.
Factor inputs: only GPA marked very important; test scores considered; all other factors not considered.
