Notes on this filing
  • Academic year taken as 2023-24 from Fall 2023 cohort and H1 aid year; the C8 text refers to Fall 2025 admission, which appears to be a carryover.
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are printed and match the gender sums (6,334 / 4,721 / 553).
  • C2: waitlist counts mapped by position (offered 471, accepted a place 143, admitted from waitlist 26); labels were cut off in the PDF.
  • C7 lists class rank as Considered, but C10 says HS class rank is no longer reported; C10 is blank.
  • C8: policy answered 'No' to using SAT/ACT in admissions and 'SAT and/or ACT: not considered even if submitted', yet C9 reports 10% SAT and 4% ACT submitters; reported as printed.
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49 and 1.0-1.99 bands and the below-1.0 band (14.9+7.0+1.8+0.2+0.0+0.0 = 23.9).
  • B4-B21: the 2017 cohort (AY-7) is used; the 4-year rate is not printed as a percent (328 of 525 completed in 4 years), so it is null. The 6-year rate of 71% is printed.
  • H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met = 157/370 = 42.4%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and is left null.
  • G1: first-year column used. Private institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are null. Required fees are $614 (first-year; $434 for all undergraduates). Room and board is the on-campus food and housing figure of $15,648.
  • H1 aid data are estimated for 2023-24, while the enrollment cohort is Fall 2023.
  • B1: undergrad_total uses total undergraduates enrolled (2,194), not degree-seeking (2,167).
