Notes on this filing
- C8F (test policy clarification) is blank; C802 policy text is partly cut off in the PDF, so the policy phrase relies on the C802 label alone.
- C2: waitlist counts are printed as three unlabeled values (5170, 2237, 101), mapped by position to offered, accepted a place, and admitted.
- C2201/C2202: early action is offered, but early action applied and admitted counts are not reported.
- C21: early decision offered (C2101 = Y); applied 526 and admitted 80 from C2106.
- C9 test percentages are shown as percent of enrolled first-year students who submitted scores.
- B4-B21: the Fall 2018 cohort was used for the six-year graduation rate (B432 = 0.71468144, converted to 71.468144). The four-year rate is not printed and was not computed, so it is null.
- Cost (G section) is not included in this filing; all cost fields are null.
- H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent and was not computed (null). pct_need_fully_met = H208 (189) / H204 (189) = 100.0.
- H2 averages used are line J (H210, $59,053) for avg_need_based_package and line K (H211, $55,303) for avg_need_based_grant, from the first-time, full-time first-year block.
- GPA percentages use the 'all enrolled students' block (C1121-C1129).
