I'm considering applying to Michigan State University. I'm curious if they have rolling admissions, as this would affect when I should submit my application.
Michigan State University does indeed use a rolling admissions policy. This means that they review applications as they come in and continue to accept students until all spots for the incoming class are filled.
While the rolling admissions system affords a great deal of flexibility, it's generally best to apply sooner rather than later. Doing so not only increases your chances of being admitted but can also be advantageous for housing assignments and course registration.
However, while they use rolling admissions, Michigan State also has a priority deadline of February 1st. Students applying by this date will receive decisions by mid-January. Although applications received after that date will still be considered, applying by the priority deadline can give you an advantage.
Remember, even with rolling admissions, it's still important to review all the application requirements and meet any posted deadlines. It's always better to submit a complete, well-prepared application as early as possible. Best of luck with your application!
