Notes on this filing
  • Year: filing reports Fall 2025 enrollment and admissions data; cost data (G1) are for 2026-27 and financial aid (H1/H2) are marked 2025-2026 Estimated; year set to 2025-26.
  • C2: waitlist policy is No (C.201) and all three waitlist counts are blank, so waitlist fields are null.
  • C21: early decision not offered; ED counts blank.
  • C22: early action offered (Yes). Filing text gives closing November 1 and notification December 1, but the C.2202-C.2205 cells are corrupted ('[object Object]'). Early action applied/admitted counts not reported.
  • C8A: SAT/ACT not required but considered if submitted. C8F clarification is blank. Institutional exam is checked for placement (C8G), not admission.
  • C9-C10 and C.901-C.958: SAT/ACT submission percentages and score percentiles are blank, so test fields are null.
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the printed bands 3.25-3.49 (12.2), 3.00-3.24 (6.0), 2.50-2.99 (4.0) and 2.0-2.49 (1.0) = 23.2. Bands below 2.0 are blank.
  • C.1202 pct_submitting printed as 0.99354 and reported as 99.4 (rounded). C.2203 retention 0.855093 reported as 85.5.
  • B4-B21: most recent cohort is Fall 2019. Six-year rate printed as 0.7122 (71.2). Four-year rate is not printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null. Completers within four years (D total 357) over cohort (C total 615) could be derived but was not computed.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed (line D 764 / line C 764 could be derived but was not computed), so null. pct_need_fully_met = line H 579 / line D 764 = 75.8, per the stated rule.
  • G1: tuition 49943 applies to all students (private institution), so in-state/out-of-state are null. Required fees 1477 and food and housing 17076 are first-year figures. G.120 notes some program tuition varies; G.402 says 20% of full-time undergraduates pay more than G1.
  • Aid column H.2 'avg_need_based_package' uses line J (average package of line d); 'avg_need_based_grant' uses line K.
