Notes on this filing
- C1: Applied, admitted and enrolled are sums of the men/women/unknown rows (33395, 3612, 1764). The residency breakdown table prints different totals: 33415 applied, 3613 admitted, 1765 enrolled.
- C21: ED counts are labeled 'For the Fall 2024 entering class' in a 2025-26 filing, so they may be from the prior year.
- C8A: The policy grid refers to Fall 2027 admission. C8F is blank.
- C11/C12: The GPA distribution, average GPA and percent submitting GPA are all blank.
- B4-B11: The 4-year graduation rate is not printed, so it is left null. Fall 2019 cohort counts: 1333 completed in 4 years of a final cohort of 1611. The 6-year rate of 94 is printed for the Fall 2019 cohort.
- H2: Line h (666, need fully met) exceeds line d (665, awarded any aid). The h/d ratio would be 100.2%, which is over 100, so pct_need_fully_met is left null.
- H2: The percent of students with need who were awarded aid is not printed. Counts: 665 of 665 (C and D), first-year column.
- H2: Row G was corrected on 9/8/2026 per the filing's note. H1/H2 data are 2025-2026 estimated.
