Notes on this filing
  • Year taken from the filing's Fall 2024 data (CDS 2024-2025 template); the B3 degree period is July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are the sums of men and women (no other-gender or unknown rows printed); they match the C1 residency table totals.
  • C2: waitlist labels were cut off; mapped by position to offered (113), accepted place (39), admitted (27).
  • C8A/C8F: C8A marks SAT or ACT as 'Required for some'. C8F's clarification is written for Fall 2026 applicants, not the Fall 2024 cycle reported here; summarized as stated.
  • C8G: AP and CLEP are checked for placement; SAT, ACT, institutional and state exams are not.
  • C9: 50 SAT submitters and 124 ACT submitters are reported; ACT Writing is blank.
  • C11: GPA bands are taken from the 'All enrolled students' column. Below 3.50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.00-2.49 and 1.00-1.99 bands (below 1.0 is blank); the bands total 100.
  • Graduation: the most recent cohort is Fall 2018. Its 6-year rate of 54.41 is printed. The 4-year rate is not printed (D=338 of C=783 would be needed), so it is null.
  • G1: the header says the FULL 2025-2026 year but the section title says 2024-2025. The checkbox indicates 2025-26 costs were not final, with a date of 7/1/2025. Values are first-year figures. Public institution: in-state and out-of-state tuition are filled; the single tuition field is null.
  • H1/H2: the aid tables are labelled 2023-2024 Final, while B1 and H2 enrollment cohorts are Fall 2024. H2 line d (awarded any financial aid) is 353 of 353 students with need. The percent with need awarded aid is not printed, so it is null.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (21) / line d (353) = 5.9%. Line d is labelled 'awarded any financial aid' on the form but is defined as need-based aid in the instructions used here.
  • I-3 and other sections were not needed for this schema.
