I'm really looking into applying to James Madison University, and I need to know if they offer rolling admissions. This could really impact how soon I should get my application ready.
James Madison University does not use a rolling admission process. They offer two types of admissions for incoming freshmen: Early Action (EA) and Regular Decision (RD).
The Early Action deadline is November 1st, and you'll likely hear back from them in mid-January. This is a non-binding option, so you'll have until May 1st to accept your offer if you are admitted.
The Regular Decision deadline, on the other hand, is January 15th, and decisions are typically released in late March. Again, you would need to accept your offer of admission by May 1st.
Given these deadlines, it would be a good idea to start working on your application sooner rather than later, regardless of whether you're applying EA or RD. You'll be able to give yourself ample time to compile your materials, fill out the application, and revise your essays. Good luck with your application!
