Getting in. The school admits 74.5% of applicants. The SAT range of admitted students is not published. 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+, TOEFL iBT 79+ or Duolingo 100+. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 40,200 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship is confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 1/6. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
