New York colleges with rolling admissions?

I'm planning to apply to colleges in New York and want to include some with rolling admissions in my list. Any recommendations for schools or tips on how to approach the application process for these colleges?

Sure, I'd be happy to help. Some colleges in New York that have rolling admissions include:

1. Pace University

2. St. John's University

3. Hofstra University

4. Adelphi University

For schools with rolling admissions, applications are evaluated and decided upon as they arrive. This means that the sooner you submit your applications, the better. You'd still have deadlines, but they would typically be later in the academic year, often not until the spring or even as late as the summer before the term starts.

My biggest recommendation would be to not take the later deadlines as an invitation to wait until the last minute. Send in your application as early as you can. Remember, spots in the incoming class might be filling up with applicants who applied before you did.

Also, keep in mind that financial aid and scholarships may be on a first-come, first-served basis at these schools. Applying earlier might put you in a better position to receive these awards.

Remember that colleges with rolling admissions, like any other college, are going to look for the same things: strong academic performance, good test scores (if the school is not test-blind or test-optional), and meaningful extracurricular engagement.

Let me know if you need any more information or assistance. Good luck with your applications!
