Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied sums to 8048 (3482 men + 4566 women + 0 unknown). Admitted sums to 6812 (2950 + 3862 + 0), but the residency table in C1-C2 prints 7196 admitted; the two figures are inconsistent. Reported the C1 sum.
  • C2: waitlist block read by position: offered 187, accepted place 186, admitted 7.
  • C8A: the checkbox is 'Required for some' for SAT or ACT, and the column header refers to Fall 2027 admission. C8F clarification is blank, so the policy phrase relies on C8A alone.
  • C9: percent submitting SAT (6.00) and ACT (1.00) are printed as given; counts are 44 and 6, which do not match these percents of the 736 enrolled.
  • C11: the 'submitted scores' and 'did not submit scores' columns are blank (totals 0.00); only the all-enrolled column was used. Bands 2.0-2.49 and 1.0-1.99 are blank, so pct_below_3_50 is the sum of 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and below 1.0 (9.78 + 26.96 + 0.98 + 0.13 = 37.85).
  • C21/C22: early decision and early action are offered, but the application and admit counts are blank.
  • B4-B21: the most recent cohort is Fall 2019. Only the six-year rate (75.00) is printed; the four-year rate is not printed and was not computed.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (233) / line d (509) = 45.8. The filing labels line d as 'any financial aid' rather than 'any need-based aid'; the instructed denominator was used. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null.
  • G1: first-year column used. Required fees (2253) differ from the undergraduate-column figure (1400). Food and housing is 17745 (first-year). Tuition is a single private rate, so in-state and out-of-state are null. The cost table is for 2026-27.
  • B22: retention rate 83 is printed directly. The C1 undergraduate total 3149 matches B1 and B2.
