Hey! I kind of missed some application deadlines, and I'm wondering if there are still universities with open late applications for 2025 admission. Do you guys know of any schools that might still be accepting? Any help would be appreciated!
Sure, it's not uncommon for students to be looking for colleges with later application deadlines. Many universities have what they call "rolling admissions," which means they continue to accept applications until all spots are filled. While many top-tier universities have strict deadlines, there are nonetheless several other quality institutions that offer more flexibility.
Schools with rolling admission include Pennsylvania State University, University of Pittsburgh, Michigan State University, and the University of Arizona, just to name a few. These universities continue to review applications until their incoming class is full.
Additionally, there is something called "NACAC College Openings Update." NACAC, or the National Association for College Admission Counseling, publishes a list every year around May of colleges and universities that are still accepting applications for the upcoming fall semester. This list typically includes institutions from all across the U.S. that have spots open for freshmen and/or transfer students, and it can be a great resource for students in your position.
Going forward, be sure to stay organized and aware of your deadlines to avoid a similar situation in the future. Getting a calendar or planner would be helpful, as well as setting reminders on your phone or computer. Good luck with your applications!
