<p>Hey I am an international student. I wanted to know is it necessary to have a valid US visa while applying to be eligible to apply to Cooper Union?</p>
<p>The FAQ section haas this-
6. What are the requirements for international students to apply to The Cooper Union?</p>
<pre><code>* U.S. mailing address
* TOEFL (if you have less than three years of study in English)
* SAT I/ACT
* SAT II in Math and Chemistry or Physics (Engineering only)
* Student visa (certificate of finances needed for I-20)
* High school transcript
</code></pre>
<p>Wanted to clarify point#5, does that mean I need a certificate of finances for the I20 or do i need to have an F1 before I apply???</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
