* By “incoming class” or “incoming students” we mean those applicants who have accepted their admissions offers and paid their tuition deposit by the close of the admissions process (usually in early June). Some of them may not show up and register at the university in the fall.
The numbers shown here may differ slightly from those reported to quantnet.com, because quantnet.com asks about admitted students rather than incoming students.
