Notes on this filing
  • Admissions totals (applied, admitted, enrolled) are the printed first-time, first-year totals; they match the sums of the men/women/unknown rows.
  • C2 waitlist: three counts mapped by position (offered 15363, accepted place 8350, admitted 2252); the waitlist ranking question is answered No.
  • C8: C8A says SAT/ACT not used in admission and C8F is blank, yet C9 reports SAT/ACT submission percentages and score ranges. The submitted scores appear to be informational. Test policy is taken from C8A.
  • C8G: AP and institutional exams are used for placement.
  • C21: early decision is not offered (AD_EDEC N), so its counts are left null.
  • C22: early action is marked offered, but no application or admit counts or dates were provided.
  • C10 (class rank percentages) and C5 units recommended were not reported; class rank factor is taken from C7 only.
  • Graduation: the 2019 bachelor's cohort is used. The 6-year rate of 85 is as printed (H = 0.85). The 4-year rate is not printed as a percent, only counts (5,159 of 6,915), so it is null.
  • Retention 95 is as printed (6,764 of 7,121 = 94.99%).
  • Aid H2 uses the first-time, full-time first-year column. pct_with_need_awarded_aid = line d / line c (2,548 / 2,730 = 93.3%). pct_need_fully_met = line h / line d (549 / 2,548 = 21.5%), as instructed.
  • avg_need_based_package uses H2 line J, the average financial aid package for all awarded students (not limited to need-based aid). Aid data are for 2024-25 final (H1).
  • Cost G1 uses first-year figures for the 2026-27 year. The school lists in-state and out-of-state tuition, so the single tuition field is null. Final 2026-27 costs are expected 6/1/2026 (G intro).
  • Room and board is the food and housing on-campus figure (18,405). Required fees are 1,146.
