Notes on this filing
  • C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals are sums of the printed gender rows (men + women; no unknown-gender entries). Enrolled total equals full-time plus part-time men and women.
  • C2: waitlist rows mapped by position: offered 3117, accepted a place 2116, admitted from waitlist 133. Ranked-list and release questions are N/A.
  • C8A/C8F: the SAT/ACT checkbox is for Fall 2027 and matches the C8F test-optional statement. C8G lists SAT, ACT, AP, CLEP and institutional exams for placement.
  • C21: early decision is marked No, so its counts are blank. C22: early action is Yes with a 11/1 closing date and rolling notification; early action applicant and admit counts are not reported.
  • B4-B11: the 6-year rate (75%) is printed for the Fall 2019 cohort. The 4-year rate is not printed (2,314 of 3,990 completed in four years) and was not computed, so it is null.
  • B22: the 89.1% retention rate is for the Fall 2024 cohort.
  • G1: the tuition and fee figures are the first-year undergraduate column. The school splits tuition by residency, so the single tuition field is null. Room and board is the printed food and housing on-campus figure ($16,381).
  • H1/H2: aid data is for the 2024-2025 academic year (box checked), while the enrollment cohort is Fall 2025, so the years differ. The H2 first-time full-time first-year column was used.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = 358 / 2,307 (line h / line d) = 15.5%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent and was left null.
  • H2: avg_need_based_grant uses line K, average need-based scholarship and grant award for line e recipients.
