Notes on this filing

Year taken from the 2025-2026 CDS title; enrollment and admissions data are for Fall 2025.
C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are the sums of the male, female and unknown counts, which match the printed residency totals (29362, 23172, 4452).
C2: waitlist accepted-a-place count is blank; waitlist offered (764) and admitted (292) are printed.
C9/C11: test-submission percentages are for enrolled first-year students; GPA bands use the 'All enrolled students' column, and pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 2.50-2.99 and 3.00-3.24 bands (16+7+2 = 25, and the C11 bands sum to 100).
C8A/C8F: the C8A checkboxes place SAT/ACT in 'not required for admission, considered if submitted', which matches the C8F clarification.
C10 and C21/C22: early action is offered (notification 12/15), but early action applied and admitted counts are not printed; early decision is not offered.
B4-B11: the 2019 bachelor's cohort six-year rate of 68% is printed (H line). The four-year rate is not printed; D/C would be 44.8% but was not reported, so it is null.
H1/H2: aid data are 2025-26 estimated figures, not final 2024-25 figures. Using the first-time, full-time first-year column.
H2: the fully-met count is in the row labelled H, not line i; pct_need_fully_met = 329 / 1925 (line d) = 17.1%. The printed 71.4% is the average percent of need met (row I) and is used for avg_pct_need_met.
H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed; it was left null rather than derived from lines c and d.
G1: first-year column used. Public institution, so tuition is left null and in-state (out-of-district) tuition of 13440 and out-of-state tuition of 40155 are reported. In-district tuition is also 13440.
Enrollment: retention rate (89.1) is printed in B22. The 4-year graduation rate is not printed and is null.
