Notes on this filing
  • Waitlist: C2 answered 'No' to having a waitlist policy (AD_WAIT: N); the three waitlist counts are blank and left null.
  • Early decision and early action: C21 and C22 answered No; no ED/EA counts reported.
  • Test policy: C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'Required to be considered for admission' for Fall 2026, while the enrollment data are Fall 2024. C8F states scores are required for all first-year applicants. C8G lists SAT, ACT, AP, CLEP and institutional exams for placement.
  • Graduation: 4-year rate not printed. Fall 2018 cohort D/C (3220/4926) is not reported as a rate, so left null. Six-year rate printed as 77.00 in H; G/C computes to about 76.8, a small discrepancy. Printed value used.
  • Cost: public school with 'In-district' tuition of 4559 (no separate in-state line). Mapped to tuition_in_state; tuition left null. Food and housing of 14440 mapped to room_and_board.
  • Aid (H2, first-time full-time first-year column): pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed (line D/C would be 95.5) so left null. pct_need_fully_met computed as line h 448 / line d 2826 = 15.9. avg_need_based_package maps to line J (average financial aid package, labelled not strictly need-based in the filing).
  • Aid year: H1 reports 2023-2024 final figures, so H2 aid data are for 2023-24, not Fall 2024.
