Notes on this filing

Year: filing's definitions page reads 'Common Data Set 2023-2024', but the data cover Fall 2024 enrollment, 2024-2025 aid year and 2025-2026 costs; 2024-25 used.
C2: waitlist policy is N (C201) and no waitlist counts are printed (C202-C204 blank); all three waitlist values set to null.
C8: C802 reads 'Required for some'; C8F describes a test-optional process with scores considered when submitted.
C11: GPA bands taken from the 'all enrolled students' block; printed bands sum to 100.1% due to rounding. pct_below_3_50 = 3.25-3.49 (10.6) + 3.00-3.24 (3.8) + 2.50-2.99 (1.3) + lower bands (0), summed from printed values.
C901/C902: SAT and ACT submission percentages are printed as 52% and 15%.
Graduation: 6-year rate (B432, Fall 2018 cohort) is 69.2% as printed. No 4-year rate is printed (B413-B416 give completers under four years), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
Retention rate: B2201 printed as 88.10%.
Aid: pct_need_fully_met computed as H208 (171) divided by H204 line d (283 students awarded any financial aid), per the form's line d label; the instructions describe line d as need-based aid recipients, and the form's need-based count differs, so the basis is ambiguous. pct_with_need_awarded_aid left null because no such figure is printed.
Costs: first-year undergraduate column used (G101, G111, G112). Tuition is single rate, so in-state and out-of-state are null.
