  • C1: gender-column admitted sum is 2,430 (1,101+1,329+0) but the printed residency total is 2,248; 2,248 used as the printed total.
  • C1 applied (3,359) and enrolled (265) match between gender and residency tables.
  • C2: waitlist offered, accepted and admitted all printed as 0.
  • C22: early action enrolled count 95 printed but no schema field for it.
  • B4-B11: 4-year graduation rate not printed; only counts (D=133 of C=275 for 2017 cohort) given, so left null. 6-year rate 61% taken from H.
  • B22: retention 74% printed.
  • H2 pct_need_fully_met computed as line H (62) / line D (209) = 29.7%.
  • H2 pct_with_need_awarded_aid left null: C=209 and D=209 are printed but the percentage is not stated.
  • H2 avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package of aided students, first-time full-time column); avg_need_based_grant uses line K.
  • G1: single tuition charge for all students, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are null.
  • C8: scores used in admissions per C8, with clarification in C8F; the dropdown reads 'Required for some'.
