Drexel University: international tuition 63,078 USD per year, one-year total cost 84,896 USD, acceptance rate 79.4%. Need-based aid is open to international students.
International first-year students, such as Vietnamese applicants, may seek need-based aid if they qualify under Drexel's requirements. The provided pages do not establish that merit scholarships are open to international students.
Getting in. The school admits 79.4% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 620–700, Math 620–740, ACT 27–32. 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 84,896 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship comes with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 15/11. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
