I'm interested in finding out which Virginia colleges offer rolling admissions. If you're familiar with any or have applied to them, I'd appreciate your perspective on what the process was like for you.
Sure, here are several notable Virginia colleges that offer rolling admissions:
1. Liberty University
2. Old Dominion University
3. Regent University
4. Shenandoah University
5. Virginia Wesleyan University
In rolling admissions, colleges review applications as they come in and make decisions throughout the admissions cycle. This is different from early action and regular decision, where there's a specific deadline and decisions aren't made until after that date. It allows you a greater flexibility in when you submit your application, and you'll typically hear back sooner.
Keep in mind that each of these universities may still have priority deadlines for scholarship consideration. Make sure to check individual school websites for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
With rolling admissions, it's generally a good idea to apply as early as you feel comfortable, as spaces may fill up and some opportunities (like housing or specific programs) may become less available as time goes on. But overall, the rolling admissions process tends to be less stressful for many students because you can often apply earlier and get your decision sooner.
