Notes on this filing
- C1: applicant, admit and enrolled totals match the residency breakdown table (37132 / 31419 / 4604).
- C2: waitlist block is blank and the waitlist policy question (C2) is answered No, so all waitlist counts are null.
- C21/C22: early decision and early action are both marked No, so no applied or admitted counts are reported.
- C8A/C8F: test-blind policy is marked for SAT or ACT, ACT only and SAT only; C8F is blank and the C8 'use of scores' question is No. However, C9 still reports 468 SAT and 30 ACT submitters with score ranges, so the test data are presented despite the policy; treat with caution.
- C7: state residency and geographical residence are marked Important; first generation is Considered.
- B4-B21: most recent cohort is Fall 2018. The 6-year rate of 69.30% is printed. The 4-year rate is not printed (only the counts, D/C = 1371/3700), so it is null.
- B22: the retention rate of 86.79% is for the Fall 2023 cohort.
- G1: public institution. The first-year figures are the same as the undergraduate figures. Tuition is split by residency, so the single tuition field is null; in-district and in-state (out-of-district) are both $6,450. Room and board is the food-and-housing figure.
- H1/H2: first-time full-time first-year column. Percent needing aid is not printed, so it is null. Percent with need fully met is computed as H line h / line d = 333 / 2426 = 13.7%.
- H1: the 2024-2025 academic year is reported.
