Is Fordham University's admission process rolling?

I'm considering applying to Fordham University and I'm a bit confused about their admission timeline. Do they have a rolling admissions process, and if so, what does that mean for when I should apply?

Fordham University does not use a rolling admissions process. Instead, they offer Early Action, Early Decision, and Regular Decision admission pathways.

Early Action and Early Decision applications are typically due November 1, while Regular Decision applications are due January 1.

Early Decision is a binding admission plan, meaning that if you're accepted, you agree to withdraw all applications from other colleges and commit to Fordham. Early Action, on the other hand, is non-binding and you can apply to other schools as well and have until May 1st to make your decision.

Instead of rolling admissions where applications are assessed as they roll in, Fordham reviews all applications after the respective deadlines have passed. This means that submitting your application earlier won't necessarily get you a decision sooner, unless you apply Early Action or Early Decision.

However, submitting your applications earlier may still be beneficial, especially in regard to preparing supplementary materials and ensuring all components of your application (like transcripts and letters of recommendation) are received in a timely manner.
