Notes on this filing
- Year set to 2024-25 from the Fall 2024 enrollment and aid reporting; G1 costs are labeled 2025-2026 in the form text but the G header refers to 2024-2025 costs, so the cost year is ambiguous.
- C2: the waitlist block has three printed counts (10,470 offered; 6,759 accepted a place; 242 admitted), mapped by position; labels are partly cut off.
- C8: C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'not required but considered if submitted'; C8F clarification is blank. C8E latest score date is 1/15.
- C11: GPA bands are reported as percent of all enrolled students, not only those submitting GPA. Below-3.50 total is 0.3+0.1+0.2 (3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99) = 0.6.
- C12: average high school GPA is blank.
- B4-B11 (Fall 2018 cohort): 4-year completion rate is not printed; only the six-year rate (95.6%) is reported. Left grad_rate_4yr null.
- H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and was not computed; need-fully-met is 1352/1352 = 100.0% (line h / line d). Aid figures use the first-time full-time first-year column.
- H1 aid amounts are for 2024-2025 (the year checked). Tuition is set as in-state and out-of-state, with no single tuition figure.
- Applicant, admit and enrolled totals are from the residency table in C1-C2 (58,951 / 9,909 / 3,961), matching the gender sums.
