Is Michigan State University using rolling admissions?

I'm looking at applying to Michigan State University and was curious if they have rolling admissions. If they do, does that change when I should ideally submit my application?

Yes, Michigan State University does follow a rolling admissions policy, meaning they review applications as they come in and make decisions on an ongoing basis until all spots are filled.

The earlier you submit your application, the better. While the priority deadline is February 1st, applying earlier - say in the fall - will increase the likelihood that there will still be open spots when your application is reviewed. Remember, spots can fill up, so the earlier you apply, the more openings there may be, increasing your chances of acceptance. The application opens near the beginning of August.

Moreover, applying early also means you'll get your decision earlier, which can reduce stress and give you more time to consider your options. Keep in mind to submit all required documents, not just the application, as early as possible so MSU can review your application in a timely manner.

Don't forget to double-check the deadlines for any scholarships you might be interested in, as these may be earlier than the general application. Best of luck with your application!
