Guilford College: international tuition 41,362 USD per year, one-year total cost 55,689 USD, acceptance rate 80%. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 79, Duolingo 105.
Getting in. The school admits 80% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 550–650, Math 570–610, ACT 18–24. 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 6.5+, TOEFL iBT 79+ or Duolingo 105+. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 55,689 USD, before any scholarship. 7 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 1/11. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
