Notes on this filing
  • Year: filing is the CDS 2024-2025 collection; admissions and enrollment are Fall 2024.
  • Applied (7,846), admitted (7,382) and enrolled (711) are sums of the men and women columns (C1); the 443 applicants and 9 admits of unknown gender are excluded. Enrolled total matches B2 first-time first-year total.
  • C2: waitlist counts were printed without total-row labels and were mapped by position: offered 135, accepted place 86, admitted 47. Waitlist is not ranked.
  • C2: residency breakdown table left blank.
  • C21: early decision not offered. C22: early action offered (closing and notification 12/01), but early action applied and admitted counts are not reported.
  • C8F blank; policy summarized from C8A checkboxes (not required, but considered if submitted) and C8D/C8G.
  • C11: GPA band percentages are blank (totals show 0.00), so pct_below_3_50 and band values are null; average GPA 3.69 from C12.
  • Graduation: most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018. Four-year rate is not printed (only counts: 680 of 1,002), so grad_rate_4yr is null. Six-year rate 80.00 from line H.
  • Cost (G1, first-year column): private institution, single tuition $58,800; in-state/out-of-state not applicable. Housing only $11,200 and food only $6,800 are printed separately; no combined food-and-housing figure, so room_and_board is null. G4 notes 62.74% of full-time undergraduates pay more than the G1 tuition and fees because tuition varies by program.
  • Aid (H2, first-time full-time first-year column): percent with need-based aid awarded is not printed, so null. pct_need_fully_met = 37 / 544 = 6.8 per the stated rule (line h / line d).
  • H2 counts: line d (any aid awarded) = 544; the filing's line h (fully met) = 37.
