Notes on this filing
  • Filing data reflect Fall 2024 enrollment and the CDS 2025-26 template; year set to 2024-25.
  • C1-C2: admissions figures are first-time, first-year totals (C117, C118, C119).
  • C2: waitlist policy is N (C201); waitlist counts left blank.
  • C2106: early decision is N (C2101); counts left blank. C2201: early action is Y but applied and admitted counts are not printed.
  • C8: C801 says SAT/ACT used in admission; C802 and C8F describe test-optional policy. Consistent, so C8F wording used.
  • C905-C913 codes are reused in the score-range section, so the printed percentile values were taken from the percentile block (C905-C931 labels).
  • C11: 'All enrolled students' band (C1121-C1129) used for GPA distribution; 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.
  • B4-B11 four-year graduation rate is not printed; grad_rate_4yr left null. Six-year rate 69% is the total from B432.
  • G1: public institution, so tuition is null and in-state and out-of-state tuition are used. Required fees are G111 and food and housing is G112 (first-year column).
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid not printed, so null. pct_need_fully_met = H208 (198) / H204 (1,774) = 11.2%. Denominator is the 'any financial aid' line d as printed; the instruction's 'any need-based aid' wording could instead point to line e (1,303, giving 15.2%).
  • H2: avg_need_based_package is H210 (J, average financial aid package) and avg_need_based_grant is H211 (K).
