  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page confirms merit awards for international students but does not say whether they are automatic or need a separate application.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe page says nothing on whether admission considers ability to pay; it only requires a bank statement showing financial sufficiency.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo CSS Profile or international aid form is mentioned; the declaration of financial support is for the I-20, not an aid application.
