Getting in. The school admits 44.5% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 580–680, Math 560–670, ACT 26–31. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. The school has not published a minimum English score.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 76,604 USD, before any scholarship. 9 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 1/11. You apply through TCU App, Common App, Coalition App or Apply Texas. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
