Notes on this filing
  • C1: no total printed; applied, admitted and enrolled are sums of the male, female and unknown-gender columns.
  • C2: waitlist policy is 'No'; the three waitlist count cells contain only placeholders, so they are null.
  • C8: the SAT/ACT checkbox is 'Required for some' and is labelled for Fall 2027, while C8F describes a test-optional policy in place since Fall 2020. Summary follows C8F; the checkbox and C8F disagree in wording.
  • C9: percent submitting SAT/ACT is blank (only counts 28 and 63 are printed), so percents are null.
  • C9: SAT composite percentiles are blank; ACT Writing is not reported.
  • C11: values are from the 'students who submitted scores' column; the all-enrolled column is blank. The printed bands sum to 100.2 due to rounding.
  • C12: average GPA 3.41 and 62.8% submitting are printed; 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 (53.3).
  • B22: retention is printed as 70%; 316/454 is 69.6%.
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2019 cohort): the 4-year completion rate is not printed (173 of 434 completed in four years), so it is null; 6-year rate of 62% is printed.
  • G0/G1: the 2026-27 cost checkbox is unchecked but the text gives 'May 2026'. Costs are first-year values; tuition is split by residency, so the single tuition field is null.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = 35 (line h) / 326 (line d, 'any financial aid'; the instructions call it 'need-based') = 10.7%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and is null.
  • H1: aid data are 2025-26 estimated, not final 2024-25 figures.
