I'm considering transferring to the University of New Hampshire and trying to figure out their rolling admissions for transfers. Is there any advantage to applying sooner rather than later?
In rolling admission, colleges review applications as they’re submitted and make decisions continuously. For transfer students applying to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), this means that once your completed application is received, it should be reviewed and a decision made within a few weeks, making it much quicker than traditional admission methods.
In most cases, applying early under a rolling admission policy can be beneficial. Applying sooner means your application will be reviewed when the admissions committee's attention is fresh and all the slots are available, which may potentially give you a better chance of acceptance.
Additionally, early birds also have some extra time afterward to prepare for the transition. They have more time to review housing options, research potential courses and schedules, and understand the resources available on campus.
Just remember to make sure your application is as strong as it can be before sending it off. A well-prepared application can help increase your chances of acceptance, even if it's submitted later in the game.
