King's College

  • Private

King's College: international tuition 44,150 USD per year, one-year total cost 46,250 USD, acceptance rate 93.1%. Merit scholarships are open to international students. Need-based aid is not. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 5.5, Duolingo 120.

First-year international students can receive King's College merit scholarships (up to $27,000 per year, renewable for four years), but the college offers no need-based aid to international students. Those already receiving a government or third-party scholarship are ineligible.

Getting in. The school admits 93.1% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 540–650, Math 530–620. 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 5.5+ or Duolingo 120+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 46,250 USD, before any scholarship. 10 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 15/6. You apply through King's College International Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe international page says scholarships are considered automatically if you apply by the deadline, but the quoted sentence does not name international students, so under the quote rule this stays Unclear.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearThe pages say nothing about whether admission decisions ignore international applicants' ability to pay, so need-blind status cannot be determined.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page mentions the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; since no need-based aid is offered to international students, it is unclear whether any form applies.
