  • C8A grid is labeled for Fall 2027 admission while other admissions items are Fall 2025; policy recorded as printed.
  • C8A: SAT or ACT, ACT only and SAT only are all marked 'Not required for admission but considered if submitted'; C8F contains only a URL.
  • C11 and C12 (GPA distribution, average GPA) are marked N/A; GPA fields left null.
  • 4-year graduation rate is not printed (only the count, 546 of 733 in D, C1 cohort 733); not computed, so left null. 6-year rate 81.9% is from the total column of H.
  • Cost: first-year tuition $69,210 and required fees $1,370 (first-year, includes one-time $150 record fee) sum to $70,580, but the highlighted UG Tuition + Required Fees figure is $70,430 (matches tuition plus the all-undergraduate fee of $1,220). Used first-year column values as printed.
  • Room and board uses the first-year food and housing figure ($18,820).
