I'm interested in universities in California and wondering if any offer a rolling admissions process. I want to apply to some schools outside the traditional deadlines. Does anyone know which ones?
Yes, there are a few universities in California that offer rolling admissions, allowing students to apply outside the traditional deadlines. Here are a few examples:
- National University: This school has a unique format where it starts a new class every month. Once you're accepted, you can start taking classes pretty soon, which can be a big advantage if you want to start in the middle of the year.
- La Sierra University: This private university has a rolling admission policy and allows you to apply at any time.
- Woodbury University: Located in Burbank, this university starts reviewing applications from October and continues to do so until classes are full.
- California Baptist University: Though it has priority deadlines, it continues to accept applications until the class is filled.
- Hope International University: Even though they have a priority deadline in March, they accept students on a rolling basis.
Remember to check each university’s specific admission requirements and deadlines. Applying as early as possible is still a good idea, even with rolling admissions, to make sure there's still space and to give you the best chance to secure financial aid.
