Notes on this filing
  • Filing is labeled CDS 2024-2025 (fall 2024 enrollment); the year field reflects that.
  • C2: waitlist policy is 'No' but the three waitlist counts are printed as 0; reported as 0.
  • C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'Required for some'; C8F describes a test-optional policy with score requirements for international and homeschooled applicants. Summarized together; the two items are only loosely consistent.
  • C9: ACT composite 75th percentile (31) equals the 50th percentile as printed.
  • C11: a stray value of 3.87 appears in the all-enrolled column after the 0.39 band; the bands sum to 100 without it, so it was treated as the C12 average and excluded. Below-1.0 band is blank and treated as 0 in the below-3.50 sum.
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2018 cohort): the four-year rate is not printed; 190/309 (61.49%) was not computed per instructions, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B4-B11: the printed six-year rate for the total column is 65.73, but G/C = 202/309 = 65.37; the printed value was used and the discrepancy flagged.
  • G1: the instructions specify 2025-26 costs, while the filing is 2024-25; figures used as printed. Private institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are null. room_and_board uses first-year food and housing ($17,790).
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid computed as line d / line c for first-time first-year (184/184) because the filing prints counts only; interpreted as share of students with determined need who were awarded aid.
  • H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package), which is not restricted to need-based aid.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met = line h (79) / line d (184) = 42.9, computed per instructions.
  • H1 uses 2024-25 estimated figures (box checked).
