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 71+ 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 27,253 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship comes with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet. According to the Common Data Set 2025-2026, 66 international students got financial aid, 6,293 USD each on average.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 1/12. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
