-
Schools decide if international applicants pay the same fee as domestic applicants, or if they must pay a different fee amount

If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you pay the domestic application fee (if a fee is required)
-
If you are NOT a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you pay the international application fee (if a fee is required)
