Avila University: international tuition 40,540 USD per year, one-year total cost 41,540 USD, acceptance rate 87.8%. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 5, TOEFL iBT 61, Duolingo 90.

Getting in. The school admits 87.8% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 430–500, Math 370–460, ACT 16–21. 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 5+, TOEFL iBT 61+ or Duolingo 90+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 41,540 USD, before any scholarship. 2 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet. Health insurance is 1,260 USD a year.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 15/12. You apply through Avila online application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
