Notes on this filing
  • Year set to 2024-25 from the Fall 2024 enrollment and the G section cost year; the G section is marked 2025-26 costs not yet available, so cost figures may be 2024-25 values.
  • C2: the filing states no waitlist policy (No checked); all waitlist counts are blank.
  • C21 and C22: early decision and early action marked No; counts left null.
  • C8: the 'use SAT/ACT in admission' question is answered No, and the C8A checkboxes are blank. C8F has no clarification. Policy phrase is derived from C8 and C8G.
  • C9: test submission percentages and score percentiles are blank, so they are null, even though C8 says tests are not used.
  • C7: only Academic GPA is marked very important; all other factors are marked not considered.
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49, 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands (52.32). Bands total 99.99 due to rounding in the filing.
  • C11: GPA bands are reported for all enrolled students only; the submitted vs. not-submitted columns are blank.
  • G1: tuition differs by residency, so tuition is null and in-state (13044) and out-of-state (18540) are used. Required fees 1233 and food/housing 13136 are first-year figures.
  • B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed for the 2018 cohort, so grad_rate_4yr is null. The 6-year rate is the printed total H value (0.5277) converted to 52.77.
  • B4-B11 label inconsistency: the Fall 2017 section's line H says '2016 cohort'.
  • B22: retention rate 0.78 converted to 78.
  • H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so null. pct_need_fully_met is 291/988 = 29.5 (computed per the allowed rule).
  • H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package), since no need-only package line is printed. Line J excludes PLUS and unsubsidized loans.
  • H2 line I (0.792) is the average percent of need met.
