Notes on this filing
  • Year taken as the fall 2024 enrollment cycle of the 2024-2025 CDS.
  • C1: applied men (1636) plus women (2623) sums to 4259, but the printed total is 4257; the printed total was used.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No, so all waitlist counts are blank (null).
  • C8F: clarification field blank; C8E SAT/ACT deadline blank.
  • C8A and C8D: SAT/ACT used in admission only as 'not required, consider if submitted'; C8A checkbox is consistent with the policy summary.
  • C9: SAT submitters were 15% (111 students) and ACT submitters 66% (473 students).
  • B4-B21: most recent cohort is Fall 2018. The 6-year rate (72%) is printed as H. The 4-year rate is not printed; D=414 of C=661 completed in four years, but it was not computed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • C11: the percentages below 3.50 (20%) sum the 'All enrolled students' bands 3.25-3.49 (9), 3.00-3.24 (7), 2.50-2.99 (4), and the bands below 2.50 (0).
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (100) / line d (467) = 21.4%. Line d counts students awarded any financial aid, not only need-based aid, so the ratio follows the instruction's definition. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null.
  • G1: first-year column used; the filing shows a private-institution tuition of $39,144 and a required fee of $3,452; food and housing are $15,224 (housing only $8,524, food only $6,700).
  • H2 K: avg_need_based_grant uses line K (average need-based scholarship or grant award, first-time full-time first-year).
