Notes on this filing

Admissions: applied, admitted and enrolled are sums of the C1 gender columns (1104+1538+0; 541+937+0; 92+69+0) because no total is printed. The C1 enrolled sum is 161, while the C1 residency table and B2 show 162.
Admissions: the C1 residency table reports 3,160 applicants and 1,856 admits, which do not match the gender-based sums. The residency table is not used.
C2: the waitlist policy is marked No, and the waitlist count fields are blank, so all three are null.
C21: the early decision offered question is not answered and its fields are blank. C22: early action is marked No.
C8: the test policy is the Fall 2025 policy. C8F clarification is blank. C9 score-submission percentages and score percentiles are blank.
C12: average high school GPA and percent submitting GPA are blank.
B1: no undergraduate total is printed. undergrad_total uses the B2 'Total Undergraduates' figure of 930. The I2 student-to-faculty ratio uses 943 students, which is a different base.
B22: retention rate is blank.
B4-B11 (Fall 2017 cohort): the four-year graduation rate is not printed, so it is null. The six-year rate is printed as 56 (189/337 = 56.1%). The 'did not receive either' column shows 81 completers against a final cohort of 67, which is internally inconsistent.
G1: the cost figures are for 2024-25. Tuition is a single private rate, so in-state and out-of-state are null. Required fees are blank. Room and board is the on-campus food and housing figure of $5,158.02. The $200 housing deposit is excluded.
H2: aid figures use the full-time, first-time, first-year column. pct_need_fully_met is 0/174 = 0. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and is left null. The avg_need_based_package value is the line J average financial aid package for all aid recipients, not a need-based-only figure.
H1/H2 are 2023-24 estimated figures, not final.
