Notes on this filing
  • Year given as 2023-24 (CDS 2023-2024 collection; enrollment as of Oct 15, 2023).
  • Admissions: applied, admitted and enrolled totals taken from the C1-C2 residency table (5708 / 2892 / 428); they equal the sums of the gender rows.
  • C2: waitlist block is blank for all three counts (offered, accepted, admitted), though the policy box is marked No. Left null.
  • C7: the 'Recommendation' factor is mapped to recommendations.
  • C8A/C8F: C8A marks SAT/ACT as not considered for admission, and C8F says scores are optional and used for placement/credit. Both sources agree, so the policy is test-optional.
  • C9: percent and number submitting are printed (13% SAT, 56 students; 31% ACT, 131 students), but the percentile score tables are blank. Score percentiles left null.
  • 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 (10+8+9+2+0+0=29).
  • B4-B11 / retention: the most recent cohort is Fall 2017; the six-year rate is printed as 61.7%. No four-year rate is printed (line D = 248 of 447 is not converted), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • H2 (first-time, full-time first-year column): pct_need_fully_met = 127 / 365 = 34.8, using line d (365) as the denominator per the instructions. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null.
  • G1: private institution, so tuition is $53,264 and in-state/out-of-state are null. Required fees ($1,024) and food and housing ($14,684) are from the first-year column.
  • Aid package and grant averages (H2 J and K) are the first-year figures: J $49,244 and K $46,436.
  • C8G: placement tests used are SAT, ACT, AP and institutional exam (not stated in the policy text).
