Getting in. The school admits 95.9% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 550–650, Math 530–628, ACT 19–26. 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 70+ or Duolingo 105+. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to about 48,689 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship is confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 15/6. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions consider international applicants' ability to pay; the pages only mention proof of funds for the I-20, which is not enough to conclude need-blind.
