Notes on this filing
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are sums of the men and women rows (1463+1367, 1150+1127, 175+73); they match the residency table (2830, 2277, 248). No unknown-sex entries.
  • C2: the school reports no waiting list policy (No), and all three waitlist counts are blank.
  • C21: early decision counts (43 applied, 7 admitted) are printed for the Fall 2024 entering class, not Fall 2025.
  • C22: early action is offered (nonbinding, not restrictive), but applied and admitted counts are blank.
  • C8A: the policy applies to Fall 2027 admission; C8F is blank. C8D (test scores for advising) is No.
  • C9: 25th percentile SAT composite is 1078, while the ERW plus math 25th percentiles sum to 1076. These are reported separately, so no adjustment was made.
  • B4-B21: the most recent cohort is Fall 2019 (6-year rate 61.00%). The filing does not print a 4-year rate; the Fall 2019 cohort shows 184 completers in four years on 343 in the final cohort, but that rate was not computed.
  • B22: retention rate of 64 is printed (244 of 381).
  • G1: tuition is printed once for first-year and all undergraduates ($47,000), so it is placed in tuition. Required fees are $998 and food and housing is $12,800 (on-campus).
  • G6: the private per-credit charge is $1,920, which does not match the $47,000 annual tuition at 30 credits per year (about $1,567 per credit); this is not reconciled in the filing.
  • C11: pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and 2.00-2.49 bands from the all-enrolled column (19.66+11.11+21.37+4.27=56.41). The 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands are blank.
  • H2: first-time, full-time first-year column used. Line h (2) divided by line d (248) gives 0.8% fully met. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is left null because the filing prints counts (c=248, d=248) and no percent.
  • H1/H2: 2025-26 estimated aid data, not final.
