Notes on this filing
  • Admissions totals (applied 14570, admitted 11970, enrolled 464) are the sums of the male, female and unknown counts in C1; they match the printed residency-table totals.
  • C2: waitlist policy is 'No' and all three waitlist counts are blank, so they are null.
  • C8A/C8F: C8F clarification is blank. Policy is taken from the C8A checkboxes, which mark SAT or ACT as 'not required for admission, but considered if submitted' for Fall 2027. The 'not considered if not submitted' wording is inferred from that checkbox and is not stated in the filing.
  • C9 percentages are the printed values (9% SAT, 2% ACT).
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the printed 3.25-3.49 (24.35), 3.00-3.24 (7.33) and 2.50-2.99 (1.51) bands, using the 'All enrolled students' column. Blank bands below 2.50 contribute nothing.
  • B4-B11: the most recent cohort is Fall 2019. The printed 6-year rate (0.690951821) is converted to 69.0951821. No 4-year rate is printed; the 4-year count (459 of 851) is not converted, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B22: retention rate 77.78% is printed (483 of 621).
  • H2 (first-time, full-time first-year column): pct_with_need_awarded_aid is left null because it is not printed and is not one of the permitted computations. pct_need_fully_met = line h (82) / line d (469) = 17.5%.
  • G1: first-year column used for required fees ($5,075) and food and housing ($19,150). Private institution with one tuition rate ($50,000), so in-state and out-of-state are null.
  • Factor 'interview' is blank in C7, so it is null.
  • C15 and C21/C22 items are otherwise consistent with the admissions data; early decision applied and admitted are both reported as 28.
