Yes. An international first-year applicant from Vietnam is automatically considered for academic merit scholarships upon admission, with no separate application. Need-based aid remains unclear because the pages only reference FAFSA without confirming international eligibility.
Getting in. The school admits 81.2% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 590–660, Math 570–658, ACT 25–30. 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+ or TOEFL iBT 80+. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 75,710 USD, before any scholarship. 3 scholarships come with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The school has not published an application deadline. You apply through The Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
