Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are sums of the male and female columns (unknown = 0); they match the residency table totals.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No; waitlist count fields are blank.
  • C8: SAT or ACT is 'Required for some'; ACT only and SAT only are 'Recommended'. C8F clarification is blank. C7 says test scores are Very Important, which is consistent with the policy.
  • C11/C12: GPA distribution and average are blank, so the GPA fields are null.
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2019 cohort): the four-year rate is not printed; the D line (2,194) over the C line (6,133) would give about 35.8%, but it was not computed.
  • B22: retention printed as 80%; 6,253 / 7,852 = 79.6%, rounded to 80 in the filing.
  • G1: in-state is listed as 'In-state (out-of-district)' with the in-district cell blank, so in-state uses $9,221. Tuition is null because the school has separate in-state and out-of-state rates.
  • G1: food and housing combined is blank. Housing only is $8,076 and food only is $4,824, but the total was not computed, so room_and_board is null.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed. Line d over line c is about 97%, but it was not computed, so the field is null.
  • H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package, first-time first-year column). avg_need_based_grant uses line K (need-based scholarship/grant award, first-time first-year column). pct_need_fully_met = 1,524 / 5,559 = 27.4%.
  • H2A/H4/H5 were not mapped to schema fields.
