Ursinus offers merit awards and most specialty scholarships to international students, plus institutional need-based aid if they submit the International Student Financial Statement. Need-blind status and automatic merit consideration for international applicants are unclear.
Getting in. The school admits 91.8% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 610–705, Math 590–680, ACT 28–32. 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+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 65,500 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship comes with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline is 1/12. You apply through Common Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
