Notes on this filing
  • C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals were summed from the gender/status rows; they match the residency table totals (24888, 15358, 920).
  • C2: waitlist block has three unlabeled counts, mapped by position: offered 1327, accepted a place 768, admitted from waitlist 364.
  • C22: early action offered (Yes), but early action applicant and admit counts are not printed in the filing.
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and 2.0-2.49 bands (15.87+11.63+8.26+0.11).
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2018 cohort): 4-year graduation rate is not printed; line D (967) over line C (1543) would be a computed value, so it is left null. 6-year rate is the printed H value (0.699287103).
  • B4-B11 Fall 2017 cohort block is labeled '2016 cohort' in the H row, an apparent typo; the Fall 2018 cohort was used as most recent.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (87) / line d (622) = 14.0%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so left null. avg_pct_need_met is the first-time full-time value from line I (71.0%).
  • G1: first-year and undergraduate columns are identical; values are for the 2024-2025 costs shown in the filing, although the item asks for 2025-2026 costs. Tuition is a single figure, so in-state and out-of-state are null.
  • Retention rate 83.7 is from B22. Undergraduate total 5321 matches B1 and B2.
