I'm planning my applications and curious about which universities in Virginia have rolling admissions. Can anyone share which schools offer this option? It'd help keep my options open!
Sure, I can help with that! Rolling admission simply means the university or college reviews applications as they come in and usually makes decisions within few weeks. This can benefit students who apply earlier in the application period. Here's a list of some Virginia universities that offer rolling admission:
1. Old Dominion University: While they have a priority deadline for certain programs, they generally use rolling admissions for undergraduate programs.
2. Regent University: They accept applications all year, rather than adhering to a strict deadline.
3. Liberty University: This university also uses rolling admissions, freeing you to submit your application at any point in the year.
4. Longwood University: This university has rolling admissions, but encourages applying by October for merit-based scholarships.
5. Radford University: This university also adopts a rolling admissions policy with classes starting in fall, spring, and summer.
6. Shenandoah University: Shenandoah also uses rolling admissions but has suggested deadlines for maximum consideration.
When applying under rolling admissions, it's generally beneficial to submit your application earlier rather than later. Even though these universities review applications on a rolling basis, spots can fill, and financial aid may become limited as time goes on. I hope this helps in your application process.
