A Vietnamese first-year applicant may apply for need-based financial aid at W&L. However, the provided pages do not explicitly confirm eligibility for the Johnson Scholarship or other merit scholarships for international students.
Getting in. The school admits 14% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 710–760, Math 720–780, ACT 33–34. 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 7+, TOEFL iBT 100+ or Duolingo 130+.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 99,880 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 1/11. You apply through QuestBridge Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
