What are the best NYC colleges with rolling admissions?

I'm thinking of applying to some colleges in NYC with rolling admissions. Does anyone have recommendations for NYC schools that have this type of admission process? How does it benefit applicants?

When it comes to colleges in New York City with rolling admissions, Mercy College and St. John's University may come right to mind. Mercy College offers more than 90 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs and St. John's University is renowned for its diverse fields of study.

Rolling admissions offers several advantages to applicants. Firstly, it extends the application period beyond the traditional deadlines of early action/decision or regular decision applications. Schools with rolling admissions typically open their application window in the fall and keep it open until all spots in the incoming class are filled.

Secondly, it tends to be a quicker process compared to traditional admissions timelines. Since applications are reviewed as they come in, you can often get an admission decision within a few weeks of applying. This can help take some of the stress out of the college admissions process, since you won't be left wondering about your admissions decision for several months.

Finally, rolling admissions can provide more flexibility in timing for applicants. You have the opportunity to apply earlier, which could lead to an earlier admission decision. However, keep in mind that while there is more flexibility, it can often be more beneficial to apply earlier in the cycle as spots can fill up quickly.

Remember to check each school's specific policies and application procedures, as they can vary. Good luck with your applications!
