Admission is usually based on a first come first serve basis, so as applications <em>roll<\/em> in, universities decide if an applicant is admitted soon after they receive the application. Universities will close admissions if all the spots are full or when their hard deadline comes up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Students are given an admission decision within 2 months of their application being submitted<\/li>\n<li>You can apply later (after \u201ccollege application season\u201d) and potentially still be admitted if there are spots available<\/li>\n<li>Less stressful de to the large window to send in application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Disadvantages:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>To take full advantage of rolling admissions, students should apply in the beginning of the admissions window<\/li>\n<li>There are still deadlines, just further apart<\/li>\n<li>Depending on the time you apply, competition to get in the school can be very high<\/li>\n<li>Spots may fill quickly, causing more qualified students to be shut out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Popular schools with rolling admissions:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/admissions.psu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pennsylvania State University\u2014University Park<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/purdue\/admissions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Purdue University\u2014West Lafayette (IN)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pitt.edu\/admissions\" target=\"_blank\">University of Pittsburgh<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/admissions.tc.umn.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">University of Minnesota\u2014Twin Cities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/admissions.indiana.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Indiana University\u2014Bloomington<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/admissions.rutgers.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey\u2014New Brunswick<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.msu.edu\/admission\/\" target=\"_blank\">Michigan State University<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.edu\/tulsa\/apply.html\" target=\"_blank\">University of Tulsa (OK)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.binghamton.edu\/admissions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Binghamton University\u2014SUNY<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/mobile.cc.stonybrook.edu\/sb\/admissions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stony Brook University\u2014SUNY<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.academyart.edu\/admissions\" target=\"_blank\">Academy of Art University<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Takeaway:<\/h2>\n<p>Rolling admissions can be a blessing and a curse. If used properly, rolling admissions can give applicants the upper hand in being admitted and receiving their admissions decision quickly. It can also save students who decide to apply to college last minute. Be careful when applying to schools with rolling admissions, the later you apply, the higher risk you can be rejected due to limited space as well as a longer wait time to receive your admission decision due to an increase of applications to review.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5032\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/magoosh-company-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/hs\/files\/2016\/01\/01061139\/wara_img2.gif\" alt=\"wara_img2\" width=\"365\" height=\"205\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Good luck as your admission decisions<em> roll<\/em> in!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With college application season coming to a close, there are still many options for students who have yet to apply for college or are looking for more schools to apply to.
