Getting in. The school admits 56.9% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 580–660, Math 520–620, ACT 22–27.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 63,969 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 application deadline for fall is 1/6. You apply through JU Application or Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
