First-year international students are automatically considered for the GPA-based International Ambassador Scholarship (about $11,000-$14,300 per year, renewable). The pages say nothing on need-based aid, need-blind admission, or CSS Profile for international students.
Getting in. The school admits 85.5% of applicants (8,853 of 10,359). Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 560–670, Math 560–670, ACT 25–32. 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+ or Duolingo 120+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 42,164 USD, before any scholarship. 6 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, 48 international students got financial aid, 45,456 USD each on average.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 1/11. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
