Notes on this filing
  • Applicants, admits and enrolled are summed from C1 gender/unknown rows (applied 1302+2195+7; admitted 904+1633+5; enrolled 249+0+155); they match the C2 residency table totals (3504, 2542, 404).
  • C2: waitlist block has three printed counts, mapped by position: offered 364, accepted 28, admitted 13.
  • C2: waitlist ranking answered No; release-to-students and release-to-counselors questions were not answered.
  • C8A: SAT or ACT marked 'Required for some'; C8D (test scores for advising) answered No; C8F clarification is blank, so the policy phrase relies on C8A alone.
  • C21: early decision applied/admitted counts (101/78) are for the Fall 2024 entering class, not Fall 2025.
  • C22: early action offered (restrictive); applied and admitted counts not reported.
  • B22: retention box prints 82; the underlying value is 329 of 403 = 81.64, which is used here.
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2019 cohort): six-year rate printed as 0.65 (65). Four-year rate not printed; 178 of 320 completed in four years but no rate was printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid not printed (line d 192 of line c 192 is not reported as a percent); left null. pct_need_fully_met computed as 46/192 = 24.0 per the rule.
  • H1/H2 aid figures are for 2024-25 final, per the academic-year selection in H1.
  • G1: in-district and in-state tuition are both 12480; the school is public, so tuition is null and in-state/out-of-state are filled in. Room and board is food and housing (on-campus) 16256.
  • Avg need-based package (J, 23401) and grant (K, 13277) are the first-time first-year figures as labeled in the filing; J is defined as the average package for all aided students in line d.
