Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals taken from the Out-of-State/International/Total column (20,918 / 17,353 / 2,463); these equal Men + Women.
  • C2: the waitlist block prints only two counts (695 offered, 54 accepted); the third (admitted from waitlist) is blank. The waitlist policy dropdown is not visible.
  • C21: early decision fields are blank, so early decision offered status is unknown.
  • C22: early action is marked Yes with a closing date of 4/30 in the layout; applied, admitted and enrolled counts are not printed, and the notification date is blank.
  • C8: the test-policy clarification box (C8F) is blank; the policy summary relies on the C8 checkbox and the 02/15/2024 date.
  • B4-B22: 4-year graduation rate is not printed (only the 6-year rate, 51% for the 2017 cohort), so grad_rate_4yr is null. Retention is 73% (item B22).
  • H2: fully-met percentage computed as line H (463) divided by line D (1,687), the number awarded any aid among students with financial need, rounded to one decimal. The 'percent with need awarded aid' is not stated, so it is null.
  • G1: public tuition is in-district/in-state $14,905 and out-of-state $36,581; food and housing is on-campus $17,512.
  • I2: the filing's student-to-faculty ratio base (12,943 students) differs from B1 total undergraduates (12,234); reported as printed.
