• Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe general admissions page says first-year students are automatically reviewed for merit but does not mention international students. The international page only says awards are set after admission, which is not enough.
• Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so this cannot be determined.
• Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages mention neither the CSS Profile nor a separate aid form for international students, so it is unclear whether one is required.
