Getting in. The school admits 40.9% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 520–640, Math 510–610, ACT 23–28. 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 7+ or TOEFL iBT 100+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 76,808 USD, before any scholarship. 14 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
