Notes on this filing
  • C8: The 'Yes/No' question on whether SAT/ACT scores are used in admission decisions is marked No, but C8A marks SAT or ACT as 'Not required for admission, but considered if submitted'. These conflict; the policy summary follows C8A and C8F.
  • C8A: Fall 2026 policy grid used as printed; C8F clarifies test-optional through Fall 2025 and that scores are used with GPA for placement.
  • C9: SAT and ACT submission percentages are printed as 4% (88 students) and 43% (860 students).
  • C10 and C11 band percentages are read from the 'Percent (All enrolled students)' column for GPA ranges; 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 (10.3+8.8+8.7+0.5). The 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands are blank.
  • C12: GPA average and submission percent are for degree-seeking first-time first-year students.
  • C12 is printed as a percent of first-time first-year students who submitted GPA (99.5%).
  • SAT composite table: the column headed '0th Percentil' holds the middle score (1340); it is recorded as p50 but the header is mislabeled in the filing.
  • C2: Policy for waitlisting is No, and the waitlist count rows are blank, so all waitlist values are null.
  • C21 and C22: Early decision and early action are both marked No.
  • Graduation: the filing prints only the six-year rate (64%, Fall 2018 cohort). The four-year rate is not printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • G1: Public institution with in-state and out-of-state tuition printed; tuition is left null. Non-resident tuition ($31,560) is not captured in the schema. Required fees ($500) and food and housing ($13,240) are first-year figures.
  • H2: First-time full-time first-year column used. The 'pct_with_need_awarded_aid' is not printed as a rate, so it is null. pct_need_fully_met is computed as 123 / 1,278 = 9.6%.
  • H1/H2: Aid figures are for 2024-2025 estimated.
  • B1: Total undergraduates 11,959 matches B2 total; the B1 undergraduate total gender table has blank gender cells for some categories.
