Notes on this filing
- Year: CDS 2025-26 covers Fall 2025 admissions and enrollment; cost items (G1) are 2026-27 figures, and the G section is marked updated June 3, 2026.
- B4-B11 (Fall 2019 cohort): the 4-year graduation rate is not printed; only the 6-year rate (94%) is stated, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
- B22: printed retention rate is 97.30%, but 3,730 / 3,833 computes to 97.31%. The printed value is reported as shown.
- C8A/C8F: C8A marks SAT or ACT as required for admission consideration; C8F is blank, so no further test-policy clarification is given.
- C9: SAT (78%) and ACT (33%) submission percentages sum above 100%, which implies students submitted both tests; the filing does not state this.
- C7: talent/ability is marked with a lowercase 'x' under Considered; it is read as Considered.
- C11: a stray value of 95.31 appears to the right of the GPA table; it matches the C12 percent submitting and was not used as a band.
- C22: early action applied and admitted counts are not provided; early decision is marked not offered (C21 'No').
- C2: waitlist figures are reported as printed; the waitlist is not ranked.
- H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was left null. pct_need_fully_met was calculated as line h (297) divided by line d (1,148) for the first-time full-time first-year column; the instruction referenced line i, which is a percent, so line h was used.
- H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J ('financial aid package of those in line d'), which covers all awarded aid and not only need-based aid.
- Cost: the filing lists separate in-district ($10,618) and in-state out-of-district ($10,618) tuition, so tuition is recorded as in-state; no single tuition figure is printed, so tuition is null. room_and_board uses first-year food and housing ($14,628); undergraduate food and housing is $17,232.
- H1 aid totals are for 2024-25 final, while H2 is also reported for 2024-25 final data.
