Can anyone explain how rolling admissions work at Marymount Manhattan College? I'm considering applying there, and I'm not sure how the timeline differs from schools with set deadlines. Any tips or experiences would be awesome!
Rolling admissions is a system colleges use where applications are evaluated as they are received rather than all at once after a hard deadline. Schools with rolling admissions policies review applications until all spots in the upcoming class are filled. This means that the sooner you submit your application, the sooner you will hear back about an admissions decision.
When it comes to Marymount Manhattan College, they use rolling admission, with priority deadlines. The priority deadline for Fall semester is March 1st. Applicants are recommended to apply before these deadlines for best consideration for admission and merit-based scholarships. However, applications are reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis until the class is filled.
The important thing to remember about the rolling admissions process is that the sooner you apply, the better your chances are of being admitted, simply because as spots are taken, there are less available for later applicants. Even though there may not be the deadline pressure you'd find with traditional admissions, a sense of urgency can be a benefit. Delaying can put you at a disadvantage.
So, in your case, if Marymount Manhattan College is a top choice for you, I would recommend applying as early as you're able. But also remember, with rolling admissions, it's always better to submit a complete and well-prepared application a bit later than an incomplete or rushed one early on. Good luck with your application!
