University of Rhode Island

URI is Rhode Island's public land-grant research university at Kingston, near the coast. Its undergraduate international requirements are published clearly, including a separate and much higher English bar for Pharm.D. applicants. Two points shape an application. SAT and ACT scores are not mandatory but URI states they are 'encouraged if seeking merit scholarships', so an applicant hoping for funding should sit one, the same structure as High Point and Wofford. And as a public university URI charges international students the out-of-state rate, roughly USD 38,500 in tuition and fees against about USD 17,500 for Rhode Island residents, with a total cost of attendance near USD 56,700. Applicants who took a gap year are asked to include a brief paragraph explaining their activities.
