American University: international tuition 31,340 USD per year, one-year total cost ≈ 76,058 USD, acceptance rate 62%. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 85.
Getting in. The school admits 62% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 660–740, Math 680–740, ACT 30–33. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. For English, the school asks for IELTS 6.5+ or TOEFL iBT 85+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to about 76,058 USD, before any scholarship. There is 1 scholarship, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 1/11. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
