Unclear
  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says international students 'will be considered' for merit based on scores, but does not say whether this is automatic with the application or needs a separate form, so it is Unclear.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so this is Unclear.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention the CSS Profile or any separate aid form for international students. Only the domestic FAFSA appears, so this cannot be determined.
