Notes on this filing

C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are summed from the male, female and unknown-sex rows (28,024 / 20,646 / 5,160); they match the residency table.
C2: the waitlist policy is 'No' so all waitlist counts and the ranked/release questions are left null.
C21 and C22: early decision and early action are answered 'No', so their counts are null.
C8A checkboxes (SAT or ACT recommended; ACT only recommended; SAT only considered if submitted) are broadly consistent with the C8F test-optional statement. The C8F clarification was used for the policy summary.
C11: GPA bands use the '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, 2.00-2.49, 1.00-1.99 and below-1.0 bands (10.78+7.72+5.84+0.78+0.12+0). The bands total 100.02 due to rounding.
B4-B11: the most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2019. The filing prints the 6-year rate (69.34%) but no 4-year rate; the 4-year rate is left null rather than computed.
G1: public institution, so tuition is left null and in-district/in-state and out-of-state tuition are filled. Room and board is the on-campus food and housing figure ($9,845).
H2: aid figures are from the first-time full-time first-year column. pct_need_fully_met = 355 / 2,712 = 13.1%, computed from lines h and d. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null. avg_need_based_grant is line K (need-based scholarship/grant average).
H2 line a for first-year full-time students is 4,945, while B2/B1 first-time first-year degree-seeking total is 5,160; the two sources do not match.
