Getting in. The school admits 78.2% of applicants. Admitted students scored around ACT 22–28. 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 61+ or Duolingo 95+. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 56,210 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 school has not published an application deadline. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says international scholarships must be applied for each semester and an institutional aid form is filled out after acceptance, so automatic merit consideration is not confirmed.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions ignore international applicants' ability to pay; it only requires proof of funds for the first year.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe page says to fill out an institutional aid form via Docusign after acceptance, but it does not state whether it is an international-specific form or the CSS Profile.
