Getting in. The school admits 87.4% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 530–625, Math 530–610, ACT 22–28. 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+, TOEFL iBT 79+ or Duolingo 110+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 51,632 USD, before any scholarship. 9 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 1/5. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
