Notes on this filing
  • Applied/admitted/enrolled (1543/1425/191) taken from the C1 residency table totals; C1 gender rows sum to the same figures.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered 'No' and all waitlist counts are blank.
  • C8: SAT/ACT matrix checkboxes are blank; C8F clarification is blank. Policy phrase is inferred from C8 'No' and C7 'Standardized test scores: Not Considered'.
  • C9: SAT/ACT submission percentages and score percentiles are blank despite C8 'No'.
  • C21/C22: early action offered (C22 Yes) but early action applicant and admit counts are not reported.
  • C12: average GPA 3.31; percent submitting GPA 100%. C11 below-3.50 figure is the sum of bands 3.25-3.49 (11), 3.00-3.24 (15), 2.50-2.99 (23) and 2.0-2.49 (8); the 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands are blank.
  • B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed (only the 6-year total of 49.1% in line H); line D counts exist but no rate was stated, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • G1: all tuition and fee figures are blank; the filing says 2024-25 costs will be available around June 2024.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met = 80 / 129 = 62.0 (line h / line d). pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed (line d / line c would be 100%) so it is left null.
  • H2 line I (88.3%) is the average percent of need met, and J ($20,850) is the average package, both first-time first-year figures.
  • H1 aid totals are 2023-24 estimated figures per the filing's checkbox.
