Notes on this filing

C1/C2 applicant, admit and enrollee totals are sums of the first-time, first-year men, women and unknown rows (31565, 22439, 2959); no separate total was printed for applicants and admits in the total row, but the sums match.
C2 waitlist block has three unlabeled-in-part counts mapped by position: offered 2155, accepted place 657, admitted 164.
C2: waitlist ranked = No; ranking release to counselors = No.
C8A: SAT/ACT 'not required for admission, but consider if submitted' is marked for SAT or ACT; C8E latest score date printed as Feb 1; C8A refers to Fall 2027 admission.
C8F blank, so no further test-policy clarification.
Early decision: the filing labels the 1405 applications and 1028 admits as the Fall 2024 entering class, not Fall 2025. Early action applied and admitted counts not printed.
Graduation rate: most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2019 (6-year rate 72.00). The 4-year rate is not printed as a percent (only completer count 736), so it is null.
B22 retention: the box displays 89 but the underlying value is 88.5 (2570 of 2903); 88.5 is used.
H2 line d for full-time first-year is 2137 awarded any aid, but no printed percent exists for aid among those with need, so pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null.
pct_need_fully_met computed as H2 line h (441) / line d (2137) for full-time first-year = 20.6%.
H2 line J (average financial aid package, 64823) is used for avg_need_based_package; it is the total package rather than need-based only.
G1 costs are for 2026-27 (filing year 2025-26 per the H1 label); tuition is a single private rate so in-state and out-of-state are null. Room and board uses food and housing (17370).
