Notes on this filing
  • Year taken from the 2023-2024 CDS template and Fall 2023 admissions data.
  • C1 totals (5,367 applied; 3,138 admitted; 545 enrolled) match the sum of the gender columns.
  • C2: waitlist labels are cut off; counts mapped by position: offered 189, accepted a place 36, admitted from waitlist 6.
  • C8: test policy text refers to Fall 2025 admission, while the filing's data are for Fall 2023; the C8 ACT-only and SAT-only fields are blank.
  • C8 clarification says 'Dualingo'; likely meant Duolingo.
  • C21: early decision applied 296 and admitted 186 are for the Fall 2023 class; the two ED plans are not separated.
  • C22: early action is marked as offered and nonbinding, but its applied, admitted and enrolled counts are blank.
  • C11: the below-3.50 figure is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49 and 1.0-1.99 bands (8.6+10.3+1.8+0.2+0.2).
  • B4-B11: the 2017 bachelor's cohort prints 4-year completion counts (492 of 693) but no 4-year rate, so grad_rate_4yr is null. The 6-year rate of 79.7% is printed.
  • G1: tuition, required fees and food/housing amounts are blank (2024-25 costs are projections, available about 5/1/2024); room_and_board is left null. G5 commuter food and housing is not used.
  • H2: the aid percentage used the full-time, first-time first-year column; pct_need_fully_met = 154/379 = 40.6%. The filing prints no separate figure for the share of aided students, so pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null.
  • H2 line J (average financial aid package, all aid types) is used for avg_need_based_package; the filing does not print a need-based-only package figure.
  • H2 line K (need-based scholarship/grant average, 49,648.36) is used for avg_need_based_grant.
