Getting in. The school admits 31% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 680–743, Math 678–760, ACT 31–33. 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.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 96,940 USD, before any scholarship. 2 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 15/11. You apply through Common App or Coalition App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
