Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied and admitted are sums of the men and women columns (823+922=1745; 474+580=1054) because no total is printed. The residency breakdown in the same item gives 1,711 applicants and 1,020 admits, which does not match the gender sums.
  • C1: enrolled 319 (164 full-time men, 154 full-time women, 1 part-time woman); this matches the residency total.
  • C2: waitlist is not used (No checked); all waitlist counts are N/A.
  • C8: the C8A grid is not checked for SAT or ACT, but SAT Only and ACT Only are marked 'not considered even if submitted'. C8 asks whether scores are used in admission, and the answer is No. C8F confirms test-optional policy; the policy summary follows C8F.
  • C9: SAT and ACT percentages are printed as percents of enrolled first-time students (24% SAT, 12% ACT).
  • C11: GPA bands use the 'Percent (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 (11.91+11.91+9.09+0.63+0+0).
  • B22: 84.50 is the printed retention rate for the Fall 2022 cohort.
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2017 cohort): the printed six-year rate for the Total column is 0.286585366 (94/328), but the Total column is inconsistent with the per-group columns. Pell, subsidized and no-aid graduates sum to 210 (64.0%). Total-column lines D, E, F and G also do not add across the groups. The printed 28.7 is reported as stated and should be checked. The four-year rate is not printed as a rate (Total D = 57 conflicts with the group values 29, 28 and 78), so it is null.
  • H2: first-time, full-time freshman column used. pct_need_fully_met = 73/170 = 42.9 (line h / line d). pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent and is left null.
  • G1: private institution with one tuition rate ($33,012) for all students, so it is placed in tuition with in-state and out-of-state null. room_and_board is the food and housing figure ($9,648).
