Notes on this filing
  • Admissions totals are the sum of the men/women/another gender/unknown counts in C1 (no total printed for applied, admitted or enrolled); they match the residency totals.
  • C2: the filing answers No to having a waitlist policy, so all waitlist counts are left null.
  • C21: early decision not offered; ED application and admit counts are blank.
  • C22: early action offered (nonbinding, closing 12/1, notification 1/15); EA applied and admitted counts are not reported.
  • C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'not considered for admission, even if submitted', while C9 still reports test submission rates. C8F clarification is blank. Policy phrase is based on C8A and C8G.
  • B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed for the 2018 cohort (only the six-year rate, 55%), so grad_rate_4yr is null. The six-year rate is taken from the printed H line.
  • G1: public institution; in-district and out-of-district tuition are both $12,360, so tuition_in_state is used. No single tuition figure is printed, so tuition is null.
  • H2: avg_need_based_package is taken from line J (average financial aid package of those awarded any aid), which is not limited to need-based aid. Label mismatch.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed; it is not derived here.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line H (391) / line D (1,264), rounded to one decimal.
  • H1 aid figures are 2024-25 estimated, not final 2023-24.
  • Filing appears to cover University of Maine; the cover page also lists University of Maine at Machias as a regional campus. Figures are not separated by campus.
