Getting in. The school admits 64.2% 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. The school has not published a minimum English score. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 56,018 USD, before any scholarship. There are 4 scholarships, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 1/3. You apply through Common App, Black Common App, or CAU Online App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
