Notes on this filing
  • C21 early decision: the Yes/No boxes appear unchecked and no ED dates or counts are given, although the hidden field AD_EAD reads Y; early decision offered set to null.
  • C22 early action: offered (closing 11/15, notification 12/1, non-restrictive), but applicant and admit counts are not reported.
  • C2 waitlist: no waitlist policy (AD_WAIT: N) and the waitlist count block is blank.
  • C8: SAT/ACT not used in admission; the percentage submitting and score percentile tables are blank, and C8F is blank. Test policy is summarized from C8A alone.
  • C9 percent submitting SAT/ACT is blank, so pct_submitting_sat and pct_submitting_act are null.
  • Cost: G1 is the 2026-27 academic year. Private institution, single tuition, so in-state and out-of-state are null.
  • Graduation: the 4-year rate is not printed (B4-B11 gives 395 completers of 691 for the Fall 2019 cohort), so grad_rate_4yr is null. The printed 6-year total rate is 64.00; 440/691 computes to 63.7, so the printed value was used.
  • C11: the 'Students who submitted scores' column sums to 101%. pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the all-enrolled bands below 3.50 (15.2+15.4+11.9+4.1+0.1).
  • C12: pct_submitting uses the printed 99% from C12.
  • H2: the first-year line h (fully met) is 224 out of 743 line d, which gives 30.1%. The printed FRSH_FT_ND_MET_P value of 81 appears to be a mismapped field (it matches line I's 81.00).
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null (743 of 743 with need were awarded aid, if derived).
  • H1/H2 aid data is 2025-26 estimated, not final.
