Notes on this filing

Year: filing is CDS 2025-2026; enrollment and admissions are Fall 2025; aid (H1/H2) reflects 2024-25 final figures.
C1: applicant total (109,112) is printed in the residency table; it equals male plus female counts (53,044 + 56,068). Admit total (17,915) and enrolled total (8,178) also equal the sums of the sex columns.
C2: waitlist block has three unlabeled counts, mapped by position: offered 24,447; accepted place 18,435; admitted 1,663. Waitlist is not ranked.
C8: policy row is checked 'Recommended' for SAT or ACT. The filing references Fall 2027 admissions. C8F is blank.
C8E latest SAT/ACT receipt date printed as 2/1.
C21: no early decision plan. C22: early action closes 11/1, notifies 1/31; applicant and admit counts for early action not printed.
C11: GPA band percentages are for all enrolled students only; no split by test submission. pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 bands (0.7+0.4+0.2).
Grad rates: 6-year rate (93%) from Fall 2019 cohort line H total. 4-year rate is not printed as a percent (line D 5,601 of line C 6,808), so left null.
Cost: public institution with in-district, out-of-state, and nonresident tiers. Tuition_in_state uses the in-district figure ($18,402), since the out-of-district row is blank. Tuition set to null because tuition differs by residency. Room_and_board is the food and housing figure. International required fees are $1,000, not used.
H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid not printed as percent; counts are 2,667 awarded aid of 2,699 with financial need (not converted). pct_need_fully_met = 1,820 / 2,667 = 68.2%. avg_need_based_grant uses H2 line K (need-based scholarship or grant award) for first-time first-year students.
