Does anyone know if Washington State University offers rolling admissions? If so, how flexible is it with applications coming in late? It’d be helpful to know since I might have my stuff together a bit late.
Washington State University (WSU) does offer rolling admissions. This means that applications are evaluated as they arrive rather than waiting for a particular deadline. WSU starts reviewing applications from the opening of their application period which normally begins around September 1.
However, it's important to note that even with rolling admissions, there are still priority deadlines. To maximize your chances of admission and receive the best financial aid package, it's often advised to submit your application as early as possible.
For WSU specifically, the priority admission application date is December 1. This ensures a full review of your application for financial aid, scholarships, and some WSU programs that have limited space. But don’t worry if you're running a bit late, applications submitted after December 1 are reviewed on a space-available basis and financial aid becomes more limited.
Remember, as with all rolling admission processes, the later you apply, the more competition you'll likely face. Hence, it's always best to start your application as soon as possible.
