What is the rolling admission situation at Northeast colleges?

Does anyone know which colleges in the Northeast offer rolling admissions? I'm trying to create a balanced application list and think rolling admissions could offer some peace of mind.

The Northeast region of the United States is home to several institutions that offer rolling admissions, helping students to diversify their application strategies by submitting applications without having to worry about typical deadlines. Some universities accept applications on a rolling basis until their incoming class fills up, while others have a priority date but will still accept applications afterward until they reach capacity.

Here are just a few examples:

1. Penn State University: Located in State College, Pennsylvania, Penn State has a rolling admission policy starting on September 1 and continues to review applications until its class is filled.

2. University of Pittsburgh: This school also operates a rolling admissions policy and encourages applying by their priority deadline of December 1, after which they continue to accept applications as space allows.

3. Rutgers University: The state university of New Jersey practices rolling admissions for most majors, but some of their more competitive programs have set deadlines.

4. University at Buffalo (SUNY): Applications on rolling basis until class is filled, but they suggest applying by early December for competitive programs

5. Indiana University of Pennsylvania: The university practices rolling admission until class is full.

Keep in mind that although these colleges offer rolling bases admissions, it's still best to apply as early as possible. Not only will this boost your chances of admission as these schools often offer spots on a first-come, first-served basis, but it might also increase your chances of getting more financial aid or housing options. Also, note that for certain competitive programs within these institutions, there might be specific deadlines separate from the general rolling admissions process.
