Notes on this filing
  • C1/C1-C2: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are the sum of men, women and unknown counts (no separate total printed for applicants; totals match the residency table).
  • C2: waitlist not used (C2 policy answered No); all waitlist counts left null.
  • C8A: SAT/ACT box checked as 'not required for admission, but consider if submitted'; C8F clarification blank; C8A policy text refers to Fall 2027 while data are Fall 2025.
  • C9: test percentile and score-range data taken as printed; SAT composite 25th percentile (1120) does not equal the sum of ERW and Math 25th percentiles, which is normal for percentiles.
  • C12/C11: GPA percentages use the 'All enrolled students' column of C11; bands below 3.50 sum to 39.41 and all bands total 100.
  • B4-B21: Fall 2019 cohort used. The 4-year and 6-year total graduation rates are not printed as totals; computed values would be about 68.1% (1841/2703) and 77.0% (2082/2703), but these were not entered. Pell, Stafford and no-aid six-year rates are printed as 71.15, 75.68 and 81.49.
  • B22: retention rate printed as 88.0.
  • G1: tuition is split by residency; a single 'tuition' figure is not printed, so tuition is null. Values are first-year column (identical to all-undergraduate column). Food and housing used as room_and_board.
  • H2: first-time, first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (240) divided by line d (1430, awarded any financial aid) = 16.8%. Line d is the closest printed match to 'number awarded any need-based aid'.
  • H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package, all awards), not a strictly need-based figure.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid not printed; line d/line c would be about 99.9%, but it was left null.
  • EA: early action offered (AD_EACT Y); early action applied and admitted counts are not printed. Early decision not offered.
