Notes on this filing
- Header reads 'Common Data Set 2024-2025' but the data reflects Fall 2025 admissions and enrollment, so year is set to 2025-26.
- C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals were summed from male and female columns; they match the printed totals (114125, 10340, 5662).
- C2: waitlist policy is Yes but all three waitlist counts and the TOTAL column are blank; the stray number 21149596 appears near the waitlist section and in housing/aid fields and is treated as a PDF artifact.
- C8A/C8F: SAT or ACT is marked Recommended, while the ACT-only and SAT-only rows are marked not required but considered if submitted; C8F contains only a URL, so the policy phrase is a summary of the checkboxes.
- C21: early decision offered (Yes), but applications received and admitted counts are blank.
- C22: early action not offered.
- G1: tuition, fees, and housing/food values are blank; cost of attendance for 2026-27 not yet available (expected 28/06/2026).
- B4-B21: 6-year rate of 87.9 is from the 2019 entering cohort (fraction 0.878841089 converted to percent). The 4-year rate is not printed, so it is null; the 4-year completers total (4197 of 5695) was not converted.
- Retention rate is not printed in the filing, so it is null.
- H2: the percent with need who were awarded aid is not printed, so it is null. pct_need_fully_met = line h (1493) / line d (1500) = 99.5.
- H2 values are from the first-time, full-time first-year column; line J (average package) and line K (average need-based grant) are as printed.
