Getting in. The school admits 96.6% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 510–610, Math 490–590, ACT 21–29. 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+ or Duolingo 110+. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to about 47,488 USD, before any scholarship. 5 scholarships are confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear.
Deadline and visa. The school has not published an application deadline. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe page says admitted international students are automatically considered for Academic Excellence and SAT/ACT scholarships with no separate application, only an English proficiency requirement.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions consider international applicants' ability to pay, so this cannot be concluded.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; merit is automatic, and competitive awards need the Freshman Scholarship Application, but it is unclear whether those apply to international students.
