Notes on this filing
  • Year label taken from the form title (Common Data Set 2024-2025); cost data (G1) are 2025-26 estimated values per the G preamble ('7/1 - The below costs are estimated').
  • C8F clarification is blank; test policy is from C8A checkboxes only.
  • C5/C6 not used in output; C3 high school completion: diploma required, GED accepted.
  • C9 percent submitting is printed as 26% SAT and 4% ACT; ACT Writing not reported.
  • C11 below-3.50 is the sum of the printed bands 3.25-3.49 (13.5), 3.00-3.24 (8.7), 2.50-2.99 (5.7) and 2.00-2.49 (0.9) = 28.8.
  • C16/C17: decision notification 4/1; reply by May 1 or within 2 weeks of notification.
  • C21/C22: early decision applied 110 and admitted 95 are reported; early action applied and admitted counts are not reported (C22 has only dates and restrictive policy = No).
  • C2: waitlist rows mapped by position: offered 436, accepted place 99, admitted 22.
  • Graduation: most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018 (B4-B11). The 4-year rate is not printed; only the completer count (528 of 920) is given, so grad_rate_4yr is null. 6-year rate 66.41 is printed.
  • Cost: in-district tuition (9,390) placed in tuition_in_state because the in-state (out-of-district) row is blank; the form labels it 'In-district'.
  • Aid: H2 first-time, first-year column used. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed (only counts 346 with need and 346 awarded aid), so null. pct_need_fully_met = 54/346 = 15.6 per the computation rule. avg_need_based_package uses H2 line J (average financial aid package), which the form does not label need-based only.
  • Aid (H1/H2/H2A/H5/H6) reflects the 2023-2024 final academic year, not 2024-25; the filing marks 2023-2024 Final.
  • Undergraduate total 3,660 is from B1/B2 totals; B1 total all students is 3,826.
