Notes on this filing
  • Year is 2023-24 (filing title); the admissions and enrollment data are for Fall 2023.
  • A1/A6 and other items not in the schema were omitted.
  • C1: gender columns sum to 6273 applied and 5065 admitted, but the residency table prints totals of 6292 applied and 5071 admitted; the printed residency totals were used. Enrolled (712) matches in both.
  • C2: the school has no waitlist policy (answered No), so waitlist counts are null.
  • C21/C22: no early decision or early action plan, so those counts are null.
  • C8: SAT or ACT is 'Not required for admission, but considered if submitted'. C8F is N/A, so no conflict.
  • C9: SAT composite and ACT scores are not printed (blank); only SAT EBRW and Math percentiles are given, so composite is null.
  • C9: 68 students (10%) submitted SAT; 0 submitted ACT.
  • C11: the 'pct_below_3_50' value is the sum of the bands 3.25-3.49 (10), 3.00-3.24 (12), 2.50-2.99 (23), 2.00-2.49 (16), 1.00-1.99 (0) and below 1.0 (0), using the all-enrolled column, giving 61.
  • C12: the average high school GPA 3.24 is for students who submitted GPA (100%).
  • Enrollment: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed (only the 6-year rate, 55%, from the Fall 2017 cohort, item H), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • Retention rate 70.7% is taken from B22 (Fall 2022 cohort).
  • Cost: G1 figures are for the 2024-25 academic year, while the filing is 2023-24; tuition is split by residency (970 in-state, 7050 out-of-state), so the single tuition field is null.
  • Aid (H2) uses the first-time, full-time first-year column. Counts are: 812 enrolled first-year, 569 awarded any aid (line d), 48 fully met (line h). pct_need_fully_met = 48/569 = 8.4%, per the rule for computed values.
  • H2 line for 'with need awarded aid' (% of need-determined students awarded aid) is not printed, so pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null.
  • Aid data is for 2022-23 (final), per H1.
