Notes on this filing
  • Year: CDS is labeled 2024-2025; admissions and enrollment are Fall 2024.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No and all waitlist counts are blank.
  • C21/C22: no early decision or early action plan (No checked); applied/admitted left null.
  • C8/C8A/C8F: SAT/ACT marked not considered for admission; C8F says Test Optional; C8G lists SAT, ACT, AP and CLEP for placement.
  • C9: test-score submission percentages and score ranges are printed as NA.
  • C10 and C11: class rank and GPA band percentages are blank or 0.00%; the C12 average (0.00) and submitting percent (0.00%) appear to be unfilled placeholders, so they were treated as null. pct_below_3_50 could not be summed.
  • B4-B11: the 4-year completion rate is not printed; only counts are given, so grad_rate_4yr is null. The 6-year rate is H = 0.31488065 (Fall 2018 cohort), shown as 31.488065.
  • B22: retention rate printed as 63.00%.
  • G1: public institution with in-district and out-of-state tuition; in-state uses the in-district figure ($9,135) and out-of-state is $28,695. Tuition field left null. Food and housing not printed for first-year students, so room_and_board is null.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. Need fully met computed as line h (35) divided by line d (799) = 4.4%.
  • H2 line J ($12,602) is the average total financial aid package for all aided first-year students, not need-based only; it is used for avg_need_based_package, which may overstate need-based aid.
  • pct_with_need_awarded_aid left null because no percentage is printed for that measure.
