Notes on this filing
  • C2: Institution has no waitlist policy ('No'); no waitlist counts printed, so all three waitlist fields are null.
  • C8A marks 'Required for some' for SAT or ACT; C8F describes a test-optional policy since Fall 2017. These are consistent, summarized in one phrase.
  • C9: SAT and ACT percentages are shares of the 171 first-time students who submitted scores (not of all 228 enrolled).
  • C11: GPA band percentages use the 'All enrolled students' column; pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49, 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands (17.3+12.8+12.8+1.8+0.4+0).
  • C8A/C8F: C8 test scores used for admission; C8D says not used for advising.
  • G1 and G5/G6: cost fields are blank ('C or t' placeholders) in the filing; all cost values are null.
  • Graduation: the 4-year rate is not printed (only counts for the 2019 cohort), so grad_rate_4yr is null. grad_rate_6yr uses the Fall 2019 cohort (48.33%), the most recent bachelor's cohort in B4-B11.
  • H2 (first-time, full-time first-year column): pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was not computed, so it is null. pct_need_fully_met = 65/170 = 38.2 (line h / line d).
  • H2 line I (85.71%) and line J/K averages taken from the first-time, first-year column.
  • Enrollment total 796 is the total of all undergraduates (786 full-time + 10 part-time).
