What Are Rolling Admissions?

Including ED and EA. ED: Early decision, which means that you can only apply for one, and you must go if you record. There are a few schools with ED2, and the application deadline will be slightly later. The full name of EA is early action. There are two cases: one requires that you can only apply for one, and the other is that you can apply for multiple. The biggest difference between it and ED is that admission may not necessarily go.

There are three types of admissions in the United States: early admissions, normal admissions, and rolling admissions. ED, EA, RD and RO.

There are still more than 400 colleges and universities in the United States that implement early decision or early action programs.

ED and EA collectively refer to early application. The deadline for early application is generally November 1, and some schools are November 15, and there are a few schools with different regulations. The time for publishing results in advance is generally December 15. Some schools will be a few days earlier, and some schools will be a few days later.

ED / EA, these two methods are suitable for students applying for the top 50 universities in the United States. If you apply for the top 50 schools in the United States through RD, the requirements are higher than ED and EA. Early Decision's acceptance rate is 30%. The average admission rate is 17%. Most of the top universities have already accepted 25% to 50% of the total number of students admitted in the year when they applied in advance; in recent years, 40% of Ivy League students have been admitted when they applied in advance.

RD stands for regular decison. Is an application in the general sense, you can apply for multiple schools at the same time. The deadline is generally from early January to the end of February. Note: The time of some schools may be slightly different, so pay attention to the specific date when applying. (PS: It is best to check on the official campus website.)

RO: The full name of rolling is that the school does not have a fixed deadline, and rolling admission. Under this policy, there is generally no clear deadline, and the applicant can submit an application through another window with a relatively long application time, which is generally about six months. After applying, the school will review your application immediately and respond within a few weeks. You can reply immediately if you are enrolled, or you can wait until May. This policy is good for both parties. The earlier you apply under this policy, the more opportunities you will have, and the more advantageous you will be when applying for scholarships and related entry requirements.

Many U.S. universities use a rolling admissions policy to recruit undergraduate freshmen, but few top universities (such as Ivy League University) use this policy. This method gives applicants a long time to apply for American universities that accept rolling admissions. Rolling admissions generally respond to applicants within a few weeks of receiving the application form, and the university will always accept the application form as long as there is a place for admission.

But applicants need to be aware that don't think that you can submit your application form without a deadline. In most cases, the sooner you apply, the greater your chances of acceptance. Because although there is no deadline for submitting application forms, there are deadlines for applications for scholarships, bursaries and dormitory arrangements.

Conclusion: Regardless of the application method chosen, early application is king. Even if the deadline is not reached and the school is full, it is only early next time.
