I'm considering applying to schools in Philadelphia and I'm curious about which ones offer rolling admissions. This would really help me in planning my application timeline. Any insights on Philadelphia schools with rolling admissions?
There are several colleges in Philadelphia that utilize a rolling admissions policy, where applications are reviewed on a continual basis as they're received:
1. Temple University: This public research university follows a rolling admissions policy where they review applications as they are submitted up until the deadline.
2. Holy Family University: This private, Roman Catholic-affiliated liberal arts university offers rolling admissions and the average turnaround time for an admission decision is about two weeks from the completion of the application.
3. Philadelphia University + Thomas Jefferson University (known as Jefferson): In recent years, Jefferson University has adopted a rolling admissions policy.
4. University of the Sciences: USciences also follows rolling admissions, and encourages students to apply early, stating that they will generally hear back within 2-3 weeks of their application being complete.
Remember to always check the college's website or directly reach out to their admissions office to verify their current policy, as admissions processes can vary from year to year. Also, while these schools have rolling admissions, they may have certain priority deadlines for specific programs or for consideration for certain scholarships, so be sure to check the specific requirements for your intended major or program.
