Getting in. The school admits 80.8% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 528–623, Math 500–613. 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 72+ or Duolingo 95+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 67,726 USD, before any scholarship. 8 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
