Notes on this filing
  • Aid data (H1/H2) are for the 2024-25 final academic year; cost data (G1) are for 2025-26; admissions and enrollment are Fall 2025.
  • C2: waitlist block is blank because C.201 answers No to having a waitlist; all three waitlist counts set to null.
  • C21/C.2110-C.2111: early decision is not offered (C.2101 No); application and admit counts not reported.
  • C22/C.2201: early action is offered, but early action applied and admitted counts are not printed; null.
  • B4-B11 (C.2 graduation rates): 4-year rate is not printed (only completers counts), so grad_rate_4yr is null. The 6-year rate of 68.2 is from the Fall 2019 cohort (B.432 current cohort).
  • H2 line I (57%) is printed as the average percent of need met; pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so null.
  • H2 pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (161) / line d (2294) = 7.0%, per the stated rule.
  • G1: public institution with in-district and in-state tuition both 3812; tuition set to null because tuition differs by residency. Food and housing is double occupancy 19 meals/week on campus.
  • C8A/C8F: C8A checks Yes with 'Required for some'; C8F clarifies the 2.80 weighted GPA threshold. No conflict.
  • C.8E: SAT/ACT score deadline is printed as a date-time value (May 31, 2025), which may be a carryover from the prior cycle; not used in output.
  • C.2205 early action notification day (30) and C.2204 month (1) conflict with the printed notification date of Jan 29, 2025; not used in output.
  • C.1129 (GPA below 1.0) is blank in the all-enrolled column; treated as zero in the below-3.50 sum.
