Notes on this filing
  • Year taken from the 2024-2025 CDS; enrollment and admissions data are for Fall 2024.
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are summed from the gender/unknown rows (no grand total printed); they match the residency breakdown totals.
  • C1: another-gender cells are blank and were treated as zero.
  • C2: waitlist labels are cut off; mapped by position to offered (2,500), accepted a place (1,300), admitted from waitlist (50).
  • C22: early action is marked Yes (nonbinding); applied and admitted counts are not reported, so they are null.
  • C8: C8A requires SAT or ACT for admission, while C8F says SAT, ACT or CLT can all be used for admission. The policy phrase follows C8F and this inconsistency is noted.
  • C7: factor ratings are from the checked column; the 'Important' column is blank except for application essay.
  • C10 and C11 are not used as the factor or GPA bands. GPA bands use the 'Percent (All enrolled students)' column in 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 (1.4+0.1+0.1+0.0).
  • B4-B21: the most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018. The printed six-year rate is 78%. The four-year rate is not printed, so it is null.
  • G1: public institution with in-district and in-state (out-of-district) both at $6,368; tuition is left null and in-state and out-of-state are filled in. Required fees are $0. Room and board is the on-campus food and housing figure of $10,958.
  • H2: aid figures use the first-time full-time first-year column. Line d is 'awarded any financial aid', not need-based, but pct_need_fully_met uses line h divided by line d as instructed (877/3,272 = 26.8%).
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was not computed, so it is null.
  • H2 line j (average financial aid package of all aided students, $13,440) is used for avg_need_based_package. The filing does not separate need-based from all aid in that line, so this is an approximation.
  • H2 line k ($8,801) is used for avg_need_based_grant.
  • H2 line i (75.0%) is used for avg_pct_need_met.
