Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are sums of the male and female first-time, first-year counts (unknown = 0); enrolled 2,028 matches the residency table.
  • C2: filing answers No to waitlist policy; waitlist counts left null.
  • C8A: the test policy checkboxes are for Fall 2027 applicants, while the score and enrollment data are for Fall 2025.
  • C21: early decision Yes/No box is blank and no ED details are given; early decision fields left null.
  • C22: early action answered No.
  • C9: the SAT percentage (3%) and ACT percentage (94%) are as printed; the test-score distributions are not reproduced here.
  • B4-B11: the most recent cohort is Fall 2019. The six-year rate of 56.0% is printed. The four-year rate is not printed (646 of 1,681 completed in four years), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B22: retention rate of 80.1% is as printed for Fall 2024 entrants.
  • G1: first-year tuition is $10,470 in-district and in-state, and $14,670 out-of-state; tuition is null because the filing gives in-state and out-of-state tiers. Room and board is the food-and-housing figure of $13,326.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met = 123 / 1,362 = 9.0%.
  • H2/I: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was not computed, so it is null.
  • J: the 'avg_need_based_package' field is taken from H2 line J (average financial aid package of all aided first-year students, which is not strictly need-based); the H2 line K grant figure of $8,320 is used for avg_need_based_grant.
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and 2.0-2.49 bands (8.92 + 6.59 + 5.80 + 0.99 = 22.30).
