I'm interested in finding colleges with rolling admission near my hometown in Pennsylvania or Maryland, maybe even Virginia. Anyone know of schools in these areas that I should consider applying to? Bonus if they're a good fit for an engineering major!
Sure, a number of colleges in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia offer rolling admissions, which allows for a more flexible application timeline. Below are a few that also have a significant focus on engineering:
In Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania College of Technology has a rolling admission system and they offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management, Electrical Engineering Technology, and Manufacturing Engineering Technology. Additionally, Penn State's College of Engineering, although not using a rolling admissions system, has a priority submission deadline that allows for more flexibility.
In Maryland, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County follows a rolling admission system. UMBC’s College of Engineering and Information Technology has several engineering programs to choose from.
In Virginia, Old Dominion University follows a rolling admission policy and its Batten College of Engineering and Technology offers programs in various branches of engineering.
Each of these institutions provides different engineering specialties, so depending on what field of engineering you're interested in, one may be a better fit than the other. Remember, it's always a good idea to visit the college's website to understand their specific application process, as well as get a feel for the engineering program's curriculum, faculty, facilities, and opportunities for hands-on experience.
