How the rounds work

Three rounds (1st Round, 2nd Round, Final Round), then a 'Rolling' row: deadline 'As applications are submitted', decision 'Rolling'. The round dates are printed without a year. The page says scholarships and financial aid are available to qualified candidates and encourages submitting the application as early as possible.

International applicants

International applicants also submit a TOEFL/IELTS/PTE/Duolingo score report (waiver possible; the two official pages state different waiver criteria) and, if educated outside the U.S., a document-by-document evaluation with U.S. GPA equivalent from a NACES member (applications are not reviewed without it). The admissions page also lists an Affidavit of Support and financial documentation certifying funds. For the I-20, the FAQ says a passport copy, financial documentation (bank statement) and an affidavit of support must be submitted before you can accept your offer of admission; the international page lists an Affidavit of Support, a certified bank statement and a permanent address and phone number outside the U.S., submitted with the enrollment deposit after you choose to accept. The admissions page says international students should apply by May 1 (no year). STEM-designated. International students are eligible for merit scholarships; private loans generally need a U.S. citizen or permanent-resident co-signer.
