Getting in. The school admits 55.4% of applicants (4,939 of 8,912). Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 590–720, Math 590–720, ACT 26–32. 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 80+ or Duolingo 115+. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.

One year comes to 73,596 USD, before any scholarship. 2 scholarships are confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear. According to the Common Data Set 2023-2024, 392 international students got financial aid, 25,131 USD each on average.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 1/11. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
