Hello! I'm a junior and I've been researching different colleges and their application processes. I've come across some schools with rolling admissions and I'm wondering if I should consider applying to them. What are the benefits of rolling admissions, and how might it impact my chances of acceptance? Thanks for any advice!
Hey there! Rolling admissions can be a great option for some students. One of the main benefits is that you can apply to these schools at any time during their application window, and you'll typically receive a decision within a few weeks. This can be less stressful than waiting for months to hear back from a school with a set deadline. Additionally, applying earlier in the rolling admissions window can potentially increase your chances of acceptance, as there may be more available spots early on. However, keep in mind that some rolling admissions schools may still have priority deadlines for scholarships and financial aid, so it's important to research and apply early if you're hoping to receive assistance. Including a mix of rolling admissions schools and those with set deadlines in your college list can be a good strategy to ensure you have options throughout the entire application process. Good luck!
