Notes on this filing
  • Admissions counts are summed from the male and female columns in C1 (applied 2704+4853, admitted 1621+3286, enrolled 515+852); these match the residency table totals.
  • C2: the waitlist policy is 'No' and all three waitlist counts are blank, so they are null.
  • C21 and C22: no early decision or early action plan is offered; the related counts are null.
  • C8A/C8F: C8A marks SAT or ACT as 'Required for some'. C8F says test scores are not required for most scholarships and that some programs require them. The summary reflects both.
  • B4-B11 (fall 2019 cohort): the 4-year graduation rate is not printed; only the 6-year rate (56%) is stated. Line D (364) over line C (1106) would be about 32.9%, but it was not computed.
  • G1 costs are 2025-26 figures. Tuition is reported by residency (in-district $12,831, out-of-state $33,468), so the single tuition field is null.
  • H1 and H2 aid data are 2025-2026 estimated figures, not final 2024-2025 figures.
  • H2 pct_with_need_awarded_aid is line d / line c (954/954). pct_need_fully_met is line h / line d (95/954 = 9.96%, rounded to 10.0).
  • C11 pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the bands from 3.25-3.49 through below 1.0, using the all-enrolled column (13.84+14.67+15.35+1.43+0+0 = 45.29). The printed bands total 99.99 because of rounding.
