Notes on this filing
  • Year label taken from the filing title (Common Data Set 2024-2025); enrollment and admissions reflect Fall 2024 and aid figures are 2024-25 estimates (H1 checkbox).
  • Admissions counts are first-time, first-year degree-seeking students; applied (3270), admitted (2091) and enrolled (351) are the printed totals and each equals the sum of its gender rows plus one unknown-gender record for applicants and enrollees.
  • C2: waitlist block printed three counts (2, 2, 2) mapped to offered, accepted a place, and admitted; the waitlist is not ranked.
  • C21 early decision: 62 applications and 45 admits printed; early action is offered (C22) but no applied or admitted counts are printed.
  • C9: the printed table shows 0.21 and 0.33 for submitting SAT and ACT; the more precise field values 0.2108 and 0.3276 were used.
  • C12/C11: average GPA 3.47 and the printed 0.99 submitting share were reported as 98.58 (the more precise value in the form data), and the C11 below-3.50 band (47) is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49, 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands.
  • B4-B21 (Fall 2018 cohort): the 4-year rate is not printed; the filing shows 225 completers of 396 in the adjusted cohort (about 56.8%), but as this is not a printed rate it is left null. The printed six-year rate is 0.77.
  • B22 retention: printed as 0.869 in the form data (0.87 on the page); recorded as 86.9.
  • G1 cost fields are blank. The form states that 2025-26 costs will be final around May 1, and the 2024-25 costs were not entered, so all cost values are null.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (132) / line d (239) = 55.2%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is left null. Values come from the first-time, full-time first-year column. avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package) and avg_need_based_grant uses line K.
  • H2 figures for avg_pct_need_met use line I (0.94, printed).
  • Undergraduate total 1417 is the Total All Undergraduates figure (B1); B1 also lists 50 unreported study-abroad and 2 unreported auditors (1469 total reported and unreported), which are not used.
