I'm considering applying to Saint Joseph's University and wondering if they have a rolling admissions process. Would love to know how flexible their application deadlines are and if it differs from other schools.
Saint Joseph's University does not use a rolling admissions process. Instead, they have a more traditional set of deadlines for Early Action (November 1st) and Regular Decision (February 1st).
In an Early Action round, you would need to submit your application by November 1st and you'll receive a decision in mid December. The benefit of this option is that it’s non-binding, which means you don't have to commit to attending if you're accepted.
The Regular Decision deadline is February 1st and you'll typically hear back in April.
Remember, once these deadlines pass, the admissions office will not accept any more applications for the respective cycle. Also, it's important to submit your applications as early as possible to demonstrate your interest in the institution, and also to ensure that all your materials are processed in a timely manner.
The flexibility varies among schools, as some indeed have a rolling admissions process while others stick to strict deadlines like Saint Joseph's University. Always check each college's website or admissions office for specific information.
