Notes on this filing
  • Year shown as 2024-25 (the filing's Common Data Set 2024-2025 cycle); the schema example suggests a different format, so this is the filing's own label.
  • C1: total applicants (13,676), admits (11,345) and enrolled (2,011) are printed in the residency table and match the sums of the gender rows; the enrolled figure includes 2 another-gender students.
  • C21: early decision not offered; C22: early action offered (closing Feb 5, notification Dec 10) but early action applicant and admit counts are not printed.
  • C8A and C8F agree: scores are considered only if submitted, and applicants may opt in or out.
  • C11: GPA bands use the 'Percent (All enrolled students)' column. pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49, 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands (36.35).
  • B4-B11: the most recent cohort is Fall 2018. Its four-year completion count (922 of 2,072) is printed but no four-year rate is given, so grad_rate_4yr is null. The six-year rate of 65% is printed.
  • H2: the first-time, full-time first-year column is used. pct_need_fully_met = 531 / 1,358 = 39.1%, computed from line h over line d. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null.
  • B22: the 84% retention rate is for the Fall 2023 entering cohort.
  • G1 cost and tuition data are not in this filing; all cost fields are null.
  • Early decision and early action applicant/admit counts are not reported.
