Notes on this filing
- Year taken from the 'Common Data Set 2024-2025' filing; the academic year it covers is 2024-25 (Fall 2024 enrollment).
- C1: applied, admitted and enrolled are the printed totals (16152, 3585, 841); gender-level detail is also present.
- C2: three counts printed in order: 3866 offered a place, 2117 accepted a place, 71 admitted from the waitlist. The 67 'wait-listed students enrolled' figure has no schema field and is omitted.
- C2: waitlist is ranked (not released to students per the checkbox pattern; release to students is checked).
- C8A: SAT or ACT row is marked 'considered if submitted', but the ACT Only and SAT Only rows are marked 'not considered even if submitted'. These conflict; the policy above follows the SAT or ACT row and C8F. C8E latest score receipt date is 15-Feb.
- C8F: no statement explaining the ACT-only/SAT-only marks.
- C12 SAT: the 'Writing' row (700/730/750) is mapped to sat_erw; the filing does not label it as evidence-based reading and writing.
- C11: all-enrolled percentages sum to 99% (printed total 100%). pct_below_3_50 = 3.25-3.49 (23) + 3.00-3.24 (1) + 2.50-2.99 (1) + lower bands (0).
- B4-B21: the Fall 2018 cohort 6-year rate (85%) is used. The 4-year rate is not printed (completers within four years = 646 of 832 adjusted cohort), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
- B22: retention rate of 90.9% is taken from the printed value.
- G1: private institution, so the single tuition ($67,840) is in tuition. Required fees are blank. Room and board is the food and housing figure ($18,010).
- H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. pct_need_fully_met = 288/304 = 94.7. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and is left null (304 of 304 need-determined students were awarded aid).
- H2 line J (average financial aid package, 63,291) is mapped to avg_need_based_package; the filing reports it as a total package across all aid for line d students.
- C21/C22: ED enrolled (387) and EA enrolled (307) are printed but have no schema fields and are omitted. ED and EA are both offered; the EA 'restrictive' question is left blank.
- J1 category percentages were not requested by the schema and are not included.
