Notes on this filing
  • C2: waitlist block prints only the offered count (3); accepted-a-place and admitted-from-waitlist rows are blank.
  • C22: early action applied and admitted counts are not printed; offered=true from C22 'Yes'.
  • C8A/C8F: C8A marks SAT or ACT 'Not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; C8F clarification is blank, so no conflict.
  • C11: GPA bands 2.0-2.49, 1.0-1.99 and below 1.0 are blank; pct_below_3_50 sums the printed bands below 3.50 (27.8+13.3+5.0) and treats blanks as zero.
  • C9/C12: pct_submitting_sat and pct_submitting_act are from C901/C902; C12 pct_submitting is the GPA-submitting share (91.3%).
  • B4-B11: 4-year graduation rate is not printed as a rate (only counts are given), so grad_rate_4yr is null. 6-year rate 0.7268722 from line H of the Fall 2019 cohort, shown rounded to 72.7.
  • G1: first-year column used. Private institution, so tuition is a single figure and in-state/out-of-state are null. Food and housing 16000 (double occupancy, 19 meals); housing-only 7700 and food-only 8300 are not mapped to the schema.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met = line H (105) / line D (166) = 63.3, per the stated rule. Line D is the count awarded any financial aid, which the rule labels as need-based.
  • H2 line C/D (166 of 166 with need awarded aid) would give 100% for pct_with_need_awarded_aid, but that percentage is not printed, so it is null.
  • H2 line I (0.94) is used for avg_pct_need_met; the line J average package and line K average need-based grant are used for avg_need_based_package and avg_need_based_grant.
