Notes on this filing

C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals are the first-time, first-year all-gender totals; gender subtotals sum to these totals.
C2: waitlist offered, accepted and admitted counts are all blank although the school reports a waitlist policy (Y).
C2/C11: waitlist ranking is N; not released to students or counselors.
Early action (C22): offered is Y, but applied and admitted counts are blank.
C8: policy text 'Required for some' from C8 policy grid; no further C8F clarification printed beyond the policy grid and the note that test-scores are used for placement only via institutional exam. Summary is an interpretation.
C11: GPA percentages use the 'All enrolled students' range; pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and lower bands (13+8+4+0+0+0).
B4: 2019 cohort used. The 4-year completion line D is printed as 0 total with blank component rows; reported as 0 but may be unreported.
B4: six-year rate printed as fraction 0.779397781 (H), converted to 77.9397781.
B22: retention rate 88.50 as printed.
G1: first-year tuition and fee rows are blank; undergraduate tuition ($63,078), required fees ($2,370) and food and housing ($19,398) used. Single tuition for all students, so in-state and out-of-state are null. Food and housing is a combined figure.
H2: 'pct_with_need_awarded_aid' is not printed and cannot be derived under the allowed computations; left null. pct_need_fully_met computed as 461/1427 = 32.3%.
H2: avg_pct_need_met (82%), average package ($53,305) and average need-based grant ($42,870) are from the first-time, full-time, first-year block.
