Notes on this filing
  • C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals are sums of the men/women/unknown rows (7404, 5558, 672), matching the residency table totals.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No and all three waitlist count fields are blank; waitlist_offered, waitlist_accepted_place and waitlist_admitted set to null.
  • C8A/C8F: C8A marks SAT or ACT as 'Required for some' but also marks ACT Only and SAT Only as 'Not considered even if submitted', which is ambiguous. C8F is blank, so the policy summary relies on C8A alone. C8G lists SAT, ACT, AP and Institutional Exam for placement.
  • C9: SAT 307 of 672 enrolled and ACT 35 are reported as 46.00% and 5.00%. ACT Writing percentiles are blank.
  • C21: early decision answered No; the Fall 2024 application and admit counts are blank.
  • C22: early action offered (Yes), but its application and admit counts are not printed; deadline 12/1, notification 12/1, non-restrictive.
  • B4-B21: the most recent cohort is Fall 2019 (bachelor's), with a printed six-year rate of 73.74. No four-year rate is printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null (the filing shows 307 completers in four years of a 514 final cohort, not computed).
  • B22: retention rate 84 is printed (531 of 631).
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid computed as line D / line C (453/454 = 99.8). pct_need_fully_met computed as line H / line D (126/453 = 27.8), using line d as the denominator per instructions. avg_need_based_package uses line J ($33,498); avg_need_based_grant uses line K ($29,713). All use the first-time, full-time first-year column.
  • G1: first-year column used. Tuition is a single private rate ($34,276). Required fees are $300 for first-year but $0 for all undergraduates. Food and housing is $10,848 for first-year.
  • I-3 and J were not needed for this schema.
