I've been looking into private colleges and I'm hoping to find some that have rolling admissions. I think this might give me more flexibility with deadlines. Does anyone know of private schools with this admission option?
Certainly, there are several private colleges and universities that practice rolling admissions, giving you a bit more flexibility with your application. Here are just a few examples:
1. Ithaca College (Ithaca, NY) - Although Ithaca College does offer traditional admissions options, it also has a rolling admission process starting in December.
2. Loyola University Chicago (Chicago, IL) – Loyola also practices rolling admissions, which gives applicants the advantage of submitting their applications at any time during the cycle.
3. Pace University (New York, NY) - Pace University also practices rolling admissions and typically sends out decisions approximately two weeks after the application file is completed.
4. Quinnipiac University (Hamden, CT) - Quinnipiac offers rolling admission after its Early Action deadline in the fall, giving students the flexibility to apply at various times throughout the year.
5. St. John’s University (Queens, NY) - St. John's accepts applications on a rolling basis for both the Queens and Staten Island campuses.
6. University of Tampa (Tampa, FL) - They utilize rolling admissions, commonly releasing decisions within a couple of weeks after the application is completed.
Keep in mind, however, that applying earlier in the rolling admissions cycle can sometimes be advantageous as colleges may have more spots open and possibly more financial aid available early on. Additionally, while this process affords more application flexibility, it's still essential to be mindful of any financial aid or housing deadlines, which may precede the final application deadline.
