Admissions Category - Academic Performance and Course Rigor
This data point provides a summary of high school academic performance through placing students in one of three groups based on similar grade performance and course rigor. Admitted students are not equally distributed between these hierarchical group. As of 1/29/2025, admitted first-year students are distributed across the three academic groups as follows:
- Group 1: (34.0% of admits) This group has achieved all A/A- Grades taking rigorous courses across 4-5 course subjects. Course subject areas include English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Language
- Group 2: (33.5%) Most of the students in this group have achieved A- grades with rigor across 4 subjects. Some students may have achieved higher grades with slightly lower rigor or slightly lower grades with slightly greater rigor.
- Group 3: (32.4%) This group contains all remaining admits. Most students in this group have achieved A-/AB grades with rigor across 2-4 subjects.
It is appropriate to note that access to high course rigor is not consistent among our admitted students and that some schools do not offer as many opportunities for advanced course work. As a result, not every student will have an opportunity to achieve at the highest academic performance and course rigor groups. The Academic Performance and Course Rigor Group should be used in conjunction with other aspects of student achievement.
Admissions Category - First Choice Major Fit
This field will display a “Y” when the admission’s review determines clear passion and commitment to the applicant’s first choice major through the campus essay, coursework, involvement, and/or other application materials.

FA - Gift Aid
FA - Gift Need (Need Not Met by Gift Aid)
Equation Examples:
$5,000 Federal Need - $3,000 Grant Aid awarded = $2,000 Gift Need
$5,000 Federal Need - $10,000 Grant Aid awarded = $0 Gift Need
FA - Packaging Status (Y/N)
Packaging Status (Y/N) shows whether or not a student has received their initial financial aid offer for a given academic year. If the student has submitted a FAFSA and received their initial financial aid offer, they will have the value of "Y." If the student has submitted their FAFSA but does not have a financial aid offer yet, it will show the value of "N." If the student has not submitted the FAFSA, the value will be blank. The intention of this data point is to offer more clarity around a student's financial information. There are several important things to remember when referencing this data point:
- You should not use this data point as a qualification. Doing so might negatively impact students in the process of completing verification.
- Even if a student has received their financial aid offer (i.e. has a "Y"), their financial aid offer may still change. OSFA is required by federal regulations to adjust student financial aid offers if a student receive additional financial aid (ie. scholarships, fellowships etc) after they receive their initial financial aid offer. A student may also experience a dramatic change to their financial situation (i.e. parent retiring, loss of parent's job) that might cause a re-evaluation of the student's financial aid offer.
- When summer enrollment begins in late spring, you may see some students who were previously marked as "Y" move to "N." Summer financial aid offers use the same FAFSA data as the preceding academic year. These students still have their academic year offers. For next year offers (so the future academic year), this will not be an issue.
FALSE NEGATIVE
An animal that tests as negative but who is actually positive. The percent of false negative for a test can be calculated as 100 – SENSITIVITY.
First Generation
- Y - Yes
- Blank - Did Not Indicate First Generation Status OR Graduate/Professional/Special Student (i.e. who did not complete Undergraduate Admissions App)
FORAGE
Feed that stimulate rumination due to their long particle size and their high content in fiber. Generally, forages are composed of the leaves and stems (stalk of plants. The bacterial population of the rumen allows the ruminant to digest forages.
FORAGE TO CONCENTRATE RATIO
Usually expressed as two percentages. The percentage of ration dry matter that is made up of forage and the percentage of ration dry matter that is composed of concentrates. The two total 100. For example a 50:50 forage to concentrate ratio means that a cow eating 20 kg of dry matter of that ration would eat 10 kg of concentrate dry matter and 10 kg of forage dry matter.

Hunger
(1) The word hunger describes the feeling of discomfort that is the body’s signal that it is in need of more food. Because of prolonged, involuntary lack of food, hunger results in discomfort, illness, weakness, or pain that goes beyond the usual uneasy sensation." Thus hunger is an individual-level physiological condition that may result from food insecurity. (2) The World Food Programme of the United Nations defines hunger as not having enough to eat to meet energy requirements. Hunger can lead to malnutrition, but absence of hunger does not imply absence of malnutrition (See related definitions at the WFP website.)
HUNGER
A strong desire for food.

Reassign IRB
Research teams initially determine which IRB to submit their study to. During pre-reivew, the IRB office may determine that the study should be reviewed by another IRB. This activity, available only to the IRB director, can move the study between the MR and HS boards, as well as to the SBS and ED IRBs.
Reassign IRB Member
Once a submission has been scheduled for review at an IRB meeting, IRB Office staff can reassign the primary or secondary reviewer responsible for conducting the review, should scheduling or other conflicts arise.
Reassign IRBS
Studies in pre-review are assigned to a specific IRB staff reviewer. If necessary due to workload, vacations, or any other issue, the IRB director can reassign that study to a different staff reviewer using this activity.

Stunted growth
Stunted growth also known as stunting and nutritional stunting, is a reduced growth rate in human development, characterized by a low height for one's age. It is a primary manifestation of malnutrition (or more precisely undernutrition) and recurrent infections, such as diarrhea and helminthiasis, in early childhood and even before birth, due to malnutrition during fetal development brought on by a malnourished mother. An estimated 162 million children under 5 years of age, or 25%, were stunted in 2012 (Source: Wikipedia).
