Notes on this filing
- Admissions counts are sums of the C1 gender rows (applied 34090+49634+227+0; admitted 14440+24321+93+0; enrolled 2502+3962+19+0), matching the residency table totals.
- C2: waitlist counts left blank although the school reports a waitlist policy (Yes); ranked waitlist = Yes, not released to students or counselors.
- C21 and C22: early decision and early action both marked No.
- C8A: SAT/ACT not used in admission, and C8F is blank, but C9-C12 and C8G still report test-related data; the percent submitting and score percentiles in C9 are blank, so test fields are null.
- C8A says tests are not considered, but the policy string is taken from the C8A checkbox alone since C8F is empty.
- Graduation: no 4-year rate is printed; the 6-year rate 69.00 is from the Fall 2018 cohort (line H, total column). The Fall 2017 cohort shows 70.00.
- Cost: public institution with in-district and in-state tuition both 6450 and out-of-state and non-resident both 17994; first-year column used. Room and board is the on-campus food and housing figure (16666).
- Aid (H2): first-time full-time first-year column used. H2 and H1 are reported for 2023-24 final, not 2024-25. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null because the filing prints only counts (4366 of 4455 need-determined students); pct_need_fully_met = 414 / 4366 = 9.5.
- Page 35 header reads 2023-2024 for the H7-H11 items; the filing otherwise labels 2024-2025.
