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+, TOEFL iBT 80+ 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 54,170 USD, before any scholarship. There are 3 scholarships, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.

Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe page says merit is based on review of a complete application, but does not say if it is automatic or needs a separate form, so it is unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission ignores international applicants' ability to pay; only a post-admission bank statement requirement appears.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages do not mention the CSS Profile or any separate international aid form, so there is no basis for a conclusion.
