Notes on this filing
  • Admissions counts are from the printed totals (C1: applied 2065, admitted 2061, enrolled 502). Gender detail for applicants sums to 2063, not 2065, so the detail does not fully reconcile.
  • C2: The filing states there is no waitlist policy (C2 'No'), so all three waitlist counts are blank and null.
  • C22/early action: the visible checkbox is 'No', but the underlying field is marked Yes, and no early action dates are entered. Recorded as not offered; please verify.
  • C21: Early decision is marked No.
  • C8A/C8F: SAT or ACT is marked 'Not required for admission, but consider if submitted'. C8F is blank, so no conflict was found.
  • C8E: Latest SAT/ACT score receipt date is August 1.
  • C9: No SAT submissions reported; ACT submission rate is 46.41% (233 students).
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the printed bands below 3.50 (8.53 + 8.53 + 21.11 + 12.79 + 8.53 + 0.21 = 59.70).
  • Graduation: the 2019 bachelor's cohort is used. The six-year rate is printed as 35.00. The four-year rate is not printed as a percent; the filing gives 187 completers of 863 in the final cohort (item D), but no rate was computed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • H2: the pct_need_fully_met value is line h (39) divided by line d (411). The instruction defines line d as 'awarded any need-based aid', but the filing labels line d as 'awarded any financial aid', so the denominator should be verified. The printed H2 figures are for the first-time, first-year column.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent, so it is null (line d 411 of line c 413 was not computed).
  • H1/H2/H6 aid data are for the 2024-25 final year, while enrollment and admissions are Fall 2025.
  • G1: The public institution has separate in-district and out-of-state tuition, so tuition is null. The in-district tuition of $8,940 is used as in-state tuition. Costs are for the first-year column. The cost year is 2026-27, and the filing notes the final costs will be available 5/11/2026.
  • G1: Room and board is the first-year food and housing figure of $11,116.
