Notes on this filing

Year assumed as 2025-26 from the Fall 2025 enrollment and 2026-27 cost sections.
Applied, admitted and enrolled totals are sums of male and female first-time first-year counts (C1); no total or unknown-gender figure was printed.
C2: waitlist rows mapped by position (offered 6,245; accepted place 3,198; admitted 84). Waitlist is not ranked.
C21 and C22: early decision and early action both marked No; application counts left null.
C8: SAT/ACT checkbox is 'Not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; C8F is NA, so no further clarification.
C9: SAT composite percentiles not printed; only the separate EBRW and Math percentiles are given, so sat_composite is null.
C11: GPA bands sum to 99% when added, though the filing shows 100%; likely rounding. pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, and lower bands (6+1+0+0+0+0=7).
B4-B11 / H: the filing prints only a six-year graduation rate (2019 cohort, 85.8%); the four-year rate is not printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
G1: Pitt has separate in-district/in-state and out-of-state tuition, so tuition is null and in-state/out-of-state are filled. In-district and in-state are both $21,594.
G1: room_and_board uses the food and housing figure ($15,430).
H2: aid figures use the first-time, full-time first-year column for 2024-25 final data.
H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent, so it is null.
H2: pct_need_fully_met = 228 / 2,125 = 10.7% (line h / line d).
H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package for line d recipients); the filing does not label it as need-based only.
B22: retention 92.5% matches 4,233 / 4,574 as printed.
