Notes on this filing
  • Year inferred: CDS data are Fall 2023 enrollment and 2024-2025 costs, so filing is labeled 2024-25.
  • C1: no total row printed for applicants; 5,510 taken from the printed Total column in the C2 in-state/out-of-state/international table (p.17).
  • C2: 'Number accepting a place on the waiting list' is blank; waitlist_accepted_place left null.
  • C8: C8F clarification box is blank; policy phrase based on C8A and the test-use answers only.
  • C9: SAT rows are blank (no SAT submitters reported); only ACT composite percentiles printed.
  • C9: ACT composite 50th percentile (20) printed but not in schema.
  • C21/C22: early action applicant and admit counts blank; early decision counts printed.
  • G1: first-year tuition and required fees cells are blank; tuition ($27,984) and required fees ($2,516) are the undergraduate-column values printed.
  • G1: housing ($10,552) and food ($4,412) printed separately; combined food and housing not printed, so room_and_board left null.
  • G1: private institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition left null.
  • B4-B11: 2017 cohort used. Six-year rate 53% printed; four-year rate not printed (225 of 617 completed in four years), so left null.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used.
  • H2 line h / line d: the rule names line d 'any need-based aid' but the filing's line D is 'any financial aid' (541). Used 541, giving 19/541 = 3.5%.
  • H2 line I (avg % of need met) printed as 0.0% for all columns, which looks like an unpopulated placeholder; reported as printed but unreliable.
  • H2 percent with need who were awarded aid is not printed and not among the permitted computations, so left null.
  • B22: retention rate 86% printed.
