Where official sources disagree
- classSize / pools (in-state/out-of-state split): Choose DO Explorer's page lists "First-Year Matriculants 417" as the Old Westbury-specific figure (with Jonesboro, AR separately marked "TBA"), but describes the 193 in-state / 224 out-of-state matriculant split as a "combined" New York + Arkansas figure - even though 193 + 224 = 417, the same total labeled New York-only elsewhere on the page. Not reconciled by guessing; both labels are recorded as published.
