If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 66,105 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. For the I-20, the school needs proof of 66,105 USD.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for spring is 15/11. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
