Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals taken from the printed totals (22680, 10906, 2754); they match the sums of the male and female rows.
  • C1: early action applications and admits are not reported (blank); early action is offered (C22 Yes).
  • C2: waitlist counts mapped by position: offered 3676, accepted a place 1083, admitted 396.
  • C7: mapped from checked columns; rigor and GPA are very important, class rank and interview not considered.
  • C8A/C8F: SAT or ACT checked as 'not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; C8F gives the latest test dates. Test policy summarized from both.
  • C9: ACT subscores (math, English, reading, science, writing) are blank; only the ACT composite is reported.
  • C11/C12: GPA distribution and average are blank, so the GPA bands and pct_below_3_50 are null.
  • B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed as a percent (line D is 1622 of 2151 in the Fall 2019 cohort), so grad_rate_4yr is left null. The 6-year rate of 86% (line H, total column) is used.
  • B22: retention rate 93.4% is printed directly.
  • B1/B2: undergraduate total 11,152 is printed in both sections.
  • G1: private institution; the single tuition figure is used for tuition. Required fees are $90 and food and housing (on-campus) is $18,780.
  • H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. Need-based package $53,669 and grant $50,804 are from line J and line K. pct_need_fully_met is 336/1118 (line h / line d) = 30.1%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is left null because the filing does not print that percent; the counts are 1118 awarded of 1128 with need (line d / line c).
  • H2 line I (78.6%) is the first column, assumed to be the first-time full-time first-year group.
