Getting in. The school admits 83.9% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 490–610, Math 480–610, ACT 22–29. 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 79+ or Duolingo 110+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 45,464 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship is confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear.

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.
