Lewis University: international tuition 39,200 USD per year, one-year total cost 47,313 USD, acceptance rate 71.3%. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 79, Duolingo 105.

Getting in. The school admits 71.3% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 490–600, Math 470–610, ACT 20–27. 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 79+ or Duolingo 105+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 47,313 USD, before any scholarship. 3 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 1/12. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
