Notes on this filing
- C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals are sums of the male, female and unknown rows; they match the printed residency-table totals (21609, 9056, 1231).
- C2: waitlist block has three unlabeled counts, mapped by position to offered (1,197), accepted a place (741), and admitted (262).
- C8A and C8F agree: test-optional, scores considered if submitted.
- B4-B21: 6-year rate is from the Fall 2019 bachelor's cohort (1,243 of 1,491 = 83.4%). No 4-year rate printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
- B22: retention 90.7% is printed as reported (1,187 of 1,309 cohort members enrolled, plus any completers).
- G1: room_and_board is the combined food and housing figure ($21,572); housing only is $12,822 and food only is $8,750. Tuition is one rate for all students, so in-state and out-of-state are null.
- H2: pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (688) divided by line d (747) for first-time, first-year students. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null.
- H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package of all awarded students, not only need-based), and avg_need_based_grant uses line K.
- Factor ratings for 'Academic GPA' were mapped to gpa; 'Standardized test scores' were mapped to test_scores.
