Notes on this filing

C1/C2: applicant, admit and enrollee totals taken from the printed first-time, first-year totals (42436, 16092, 6169); C1 gender detail sums to the same enrollee total.
C2: waitlist block mapped by position: offered 3620, accepted a place 1871, admitted from waitlist 157.
C8A: policy checkbox reads 'required to be considered' for Fall 2026; C8F is blank, so no clarification is available.
C21: early decision not offered (answered No); application and admit counts blank.
C22: early action offered; closing 10/15, notification 12/1; applicant and admit counts not reported.
C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25–3.49, 3.00–3.24, 2.50–2.99 and 2.00–2.49 bands (0.31+0.16+0.21+0.08); the printed column total is 99.995.
B4-B21: the 2018 cohort (most recent) gives 4,321 completers in four years of 5,703 in the cohort, but no four-year rate is printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null. The six-year rate of 89.71 is printed and used.
G1: public institution; in-district tuition 10,034 is used as in-state tuition, out-of-state 30,272. Nonresident tuition of 30,848 is not captured in the schema. Food and housing 11,672 is used as room_and_board.
H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (518) / line d (1,816) = 28.5. Line d is labeled 'awarded any financial aid' but the instruction uses it as the need-based denominator.
H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was not computed, so it is null.
B1/B2: grand total of 43,146 students and undergraduate total of 32,399 are consistent.
