Getting in. The school admits 78.9% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 580–680, Math 600–678, ACT 25–29. 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 110+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 52,800 USD, before any scholarship. 2 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
