Notes on this filing
  • Year is the 2024-2025 CDS; enrollment and admissions data are as of fall 2024.
  • C1: men and another-gender cells are blank; applied (5,226), admitted (1,883) and enrolled (512) are taken from the printed totals and the residency breakdown table, which match the women-only entries.
  • C2: waitlist counts mapped by position (offered 792, accepted place 322, admitted 12); labels are cut off in the PDF.
  • C8A: SAT/ACT/SAT-only/ACT-only all marked 'not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; C8F clarification is blank, so the policy is summarized from C8A alone.
  • C11: GPA bands taken from the 'Percent (All enrolled students)' column; pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and 2.0-2.49 bands (8.222+2.667+0.444+0.222).
  • C12: pct_submitting (87.89) is the share of first-time students who submitted GPA.
  • B4-B11: the most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018; only the six-year rate (84.39%) is printed. The four-year rate is not printed and was not computed (line D 444 of line C 628), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • Fall 2017 grid header in H labels the rate as the '2016 cohort'; likely a typo.
  • H2: first-time full-time first-year column used; pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (328) / line d (328) = 100.0. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null.
  • G1: private institution; the single tuition figure is entered in 'tuition', with in-state and out-of-state left null.
  • H1 aid figures are 2024-25 estimated, not final.
