Notes on this filing
  • Year is the 2024-2025 CDS; enrollment and admissions data are for Fall 2024 (October 15, 2024 census).
  • C1: first-time, first-year men 5188 + women 7332 + unknown 1 = 12521 applicants; admits 2771 + 3601 = 6372; enrollees 549 + 674 = 1223, all matching printed totals.
  • C2: waitlist rows mapped by position: offered 3199, accepted a place 1098, admitted from waitlist 251.
  • C8A: SAT or ACT is 'not required but considered if submitted' for both tests; C8F clarification is blank. The C8A policy is labeled for Fall 2026 admission.
  • C10 high school class rank was not extracted because it is not in the requested schema fields.
  • 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, 2.0-2.49 and below-2.0 bands (41.54).
  • C12 average GPA 3.54 is for students who submitted GPA (100%).
  • C13 application fee $65; C17 housing deposit $200, non-refundable.
  • C21/C22: early action applications and admits were not printed, so those fields are null.
  • B4-B21: 6-year rate 85.82 is from the Fall 2018 cohort (G 962 / C 1121). The 4-year completion count is 934 of 1121, but no 4-year rate is printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • H2: first-time, first-year column used. Line h (fully met) 243 divided by line d (any aid) 579 = 42.0%. The printed count of students with need who were awarded aid (579 of 579) was not converted to a percent, so pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null.
  • H1 and H2 are estimated 2024-2025 figures.
  • G1 tuition and fee table is blank (a private institution), so all cost fields are null. G0 net price calculator is https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/providence; 2025-26 costs were to be available 4/1/2025.
