Notes on this filing
  • Filing is the 2024-25 CDS (Fall 2024 data); the year field reflects the enrollment year.
  • C1 totals were not printed; applied, admitted and enrolled are sums of the gender/other/unknown rows (40817, 32838, 4926), which match the C2 totals.
  • C8A checks 'not required for admission, but consider if submitted' for SAT or ACT, ACT only and SAT only; C8F describes test-optional with required exceptions. The two agree.
  • C8A header refers to Fall 2026 while the rest of the filing is 2024-25; the policy is recorded as stated.
  • C2: waitlist counts are mapped by position (offered 2030, accepted 354, admitted 118); the waitlist is not ranked.
  • C21: no early decision plan. C22: early action offered, but no early action counts are printed.
  • B1 total all undergraduates is 21428, while B2 total undergraduates is 21457; B1 is used.
  • B4-B21: the most recent cohort is Fall 2018. Only the six-year rate (75.00) is printed; the four-year rate is not printed and is left null.
  • B22: retention rate 83.00 for the Fall 2023 cohort.
  • G1: the cost table has no printed values, so all cost fields are null.
  • H2: the first-year column is used. pct_need_fully_met = 175 / 2737 (line d, awarded any financial aid) = 6.4%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and is left null (2737 of 2738 students with need were awarded aid).
  • H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package, all awarded students, 17833). avg_need_based_grant uses line K (average need-based scholarship/grant, 15980).
