Getting in. The school admits 74.1% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 620–710, Math 565–670, ACT 27–30. 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+ or Duolingo 105+. The school does not admit conditionally when the English score is missing.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 42,388 USD, before any scholarship. There are 5 scholarships, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet. Health insurance is 1,893 USD a year.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 15/11. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
