Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals taken from the residency table, which matches the sum of the male and female columns.
  • C2: school has no waitlist policy (answered No); all waitlist counts left blank.
  • C4/C8F: test policy summarized from the C8A 'Recommended' checkbox and the C8F clarification; C8A/C8F refer to applicants for Fall 2027, not the Fall 2025 cycle.
  • C8G: placement tests listed as SAT, ACT, AP, CLEP and institutional exam.
  • C9: SAT and ACT percentages (66% and 18%) are as printed; they sum to 84%.
  • C11/C12: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the printed 'All enrolled' bands below 3.50 (9.9 + 5.76 + 1.77 = 17.43); the 2.0-2.49 and below bands are blank.
  • C12: pct_submitting is the printed 93.51% of first-time, first-year students who submitted a GPA.
  • B22: retention rate printed as 0.885 (88.5%).
  • B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed for the Fall 2019 cohort, so it is null. The 6-year rate is the printed Fall 2019 total of 69.95%.
  • G1: in-district and in-state tuition are both 20,396; food and housing (14,321) equals housing 8,028 plus food 6,293.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. Line a (1,443) differs from C1 enrolled (1,448) and should be reconciled.
  • H2: 'pct_with_need_awarded_aid' is not printed as a percent, so it is null. 'pct_need_fully_met' is computed as line h (433) / line d (838) = 51.7%.
  • H2 line J is the average aid package for all aided students, not need-based only; it is used for avg_need_based_package (29,656) as the closest available field.
  • H1: the year checkbox position is ambiguous (2025-2026 estimated vs 2024-2025 final); H2 figures are treated as Fall 2025 data.
