Roberts Wesleyan University: international tuition 38,996 USD per year, one-year total cost 60,036 USD, acceptance rate 70.6%. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 75, Duolingo 105.
Getting in. The school admits 70.6% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 505–670, Math 485–635. 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 75+ or Duolingo 105+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 60,036 USD, before any scholarship. 11 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 15/11. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

- Aid with the offerUnclearAid with the offerThe school decides aid while reviewing your application, so any need-based or merit award arrives with the offer.The school's official pages do not say whether international students get aid at admission — worth asking the admissions office directly.
- Apply separately for scholarshipsUnclearApply separately for scholarshipsOn top of the admission application, you send a separate scholarship application or get nominated.The pages we read mention no scholarship with its own application. Not seeing one does not mean there is none — ask the school.
