Notes on this filing
  • Year inferred: filing has Fall 2023 enrollment, 2024-25 costs and Fall 2025 test policy; 2024-25 assumed as filing year.
  • C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals taken from the printed residency table (12137, 10173, 5634), which matches the sums of the gender rows.
  • C2: waitlist block is blank, so all three waitlist counts are null; the waitlist policy row is not clearly marked.
  • C8A: SAT/ACT marked 'not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; C8A applies to Fall 2025, while C9 scores are for Fall 2023 enrollees.
  • C8F: clarification blank.
  • C11/C12: GPA distribution, average and percent submitting GPA are blank, so GPA fields are null.
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2017 cohort): 4-year graduation rate is not printed as a rate (only counts: 1233 of 4193), so grad_rate_4yr is null. 6-year rate 49.2 is the printed H-line total.
  • B22: retention rate 0.7891644909 converted to 78.9.
  • G1: public institution with in-district and out-of-state tuition; tuition set null and in-state/out-of-state tuition filled from the in-state and out-of-state rows. Room and board is the on-campus food and housing figure.
  • H2: first-time full-time column used (line d 4108 awarded aid; line h 355 fully met). Pct fully met computed as 355/4108 = 8.6 per instructions.
  • H2 line I printed as 0.8358, converted to 83.58.
  • pct_with_need_awarded_aid not printed as a percent, so null.
  • Consistency: H2 first-time full-time freshmen count (4467) differs from B1 first-time full-time enrollment (1819+2557=4376).
