Notes on this filing

C1: applied, admitted and enrolled are summed from men and women rows (no total printed); they match the residency table totals.
C2: waitlist policy checked 'No' and all three waitlist counts are blank, so waitlist fields are null.
C21/C22: early decision and early action both marked 'No'; no counts reported.
B4-B21: the 2019 (most recent) cohort is used. The six-year rate of 45.90% is printed; the four-year rate is not printed and was not computed.
G1: in-district tuition was $9,160 and in-state (out-of-district) tuition $9,168. The in-state field uses $9,168; the in-district figure is not captured. Tuition is split by residency, so the single tuition field is null.
G1: the food-and-housing combined row is blank; housing only ($8,280) and food only ($6,530) are printed separately, so room_and_board is null.
H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed (line d over line c not stated), so it is null.
H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (47) / line d (741) = 6.3%, computed per the stated rule.
C11: GPA bands use the 'All enrolled students' column; below 3.50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.00-2.49, 1.00-1.99 and below-1.0 bands (47.62).
C9: SAT/ACT percentages are of enrolled first-time, first-year students; the ACT writing row is blank.
