Notes on this filing
  • Year is the CDS 2024-2025 cycle (fall 2024 enrollment data).
  • Admissions applied, admitted and enrolled totals are taken from the residency table in C1; the gender-level counts sum to the same figures (applied 3872+3843+11; admitted 959+1434+4; enrolled 196+242+1).
  • C2: waitlist offered 1591, accepted a place 797, admitted from waitlist 43, mapped by position.
  • C21: early decision is marked Yes with closing dates 11/15, 12/15, 1/15 and 2/1 listed; ED applicant and admit counts are blank.
  • C7: the column positions for Recommendation(s), Level of applicant's interest and Religious affiliation are hard to read in the flattened PDF; mapped as very important, important and not considered respectively.
  • C8: the Yes/No mark for using SAT/ACT in admission is ambiguous in the PDF; the C8A grid (not required but considered if submitted) was used for the policy.
  • C9: SAT and ACT score percentile tables are printed; the SAT ERW and ACT composite values are used as printed.
  • C11: GPA band percentages sum to 99 and the printed total reads 9900.00%, which appears to be a typo. pct_below_3_50 = 8+5+4+0+0+0 = 17, summed from the bands as instructed.
  • B4-B21: 6-year graduation rate taken from the printed H line (0.821892393 converted to 82.19). The 4-year rate is not printed (only counts), so it is null.
  • Cost: food and housing combined is not printed; housing-only (7,600) and food-only (9,780) are shown, so room_and_board is null. Tuition is a single figure for all students, so in-state and out-of-state are null.
  • H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met = 220/220 = 100.0 (line h / line d). pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a rate and was left null.
  • H1/J: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package of all aided students) since no need-only package figure is printed.
