Notes on this filing
  • Year given as 2024-25 from the filing title; admissions and enrollment are Fall 2024.
  • C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals taken from the printed totals (11674 / 8359 / 686); the gender-level detail is not needed for these fields.
  • C2: the three waitlist counts are mapped by position (offered 58, accepted place 57, admitted 29); the row labels were cut off in the PDF.
  • C2: waitlist is not ranked (WAITLIST_RANK = N).
  • C10: class rank values were printed but are not included in the schema; factor 'class_rank' comes from C7 only.
  • C11/C12: the GPA band percentages are for all enrolled students; pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49, 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands (14+12+10+2+0+0=38).
  • C8A/C8F: checkbox and clarification agree (not required, considered if submitted).
  • C7: 'Volunteer work' is printed under field Q112_11 (Q112_10 is absent); the checkmark is Important, which is used here.
  • Graduation: the most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018 (B4-B11). The filing prints the 6-year rate (0.62289). It does not print a 4-year rate; the counts (503 of 891) were not converted, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • Early action: plan offered (C22 = Yes), but no applicant or admit counts are printed, so those are null.
  • Cost (G1): single comprehensive private tuition of $59,290 for first-year students, so it is placed in 'tuition'. Room and board is the food-and-housing figure of $18,342.
  • Aid (H2): first-time, full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met = 190 / 556 (line h / line d) = 34.2. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent, so it is null. avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package, 56068) and avg_need_based_grant uses line K (average need-based scholarship/grant, 48329).
  • H1 aid data are 2024-25 estimated, not final 2023-24 figures.
