Getting in. The school admits 77.2% of applicants (3,450 of 4,469). Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 600–680, Math 580–760, ACT 21–32. 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+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 68,134 USD, before any scholarship. 4 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet. According to the Common Data Set 2025-2026, 323 international students got financial aid, 46,793 USD each on average.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 1/11. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
