Can I still submit a late application to city colleges?

I'm worried I missed the application deadline for some city colleges I'm interested in. Is it possible to apply late, and do they have any specific policies regarding late applications?

City colleges, much like other colleges, do have specific deadlines, but there may be some flexibility depending on the admissions policies of the individual college. Many schools may have Late Consideration or Rolling Admissions policies, which allow applications to be reviewed on a space-available basis after the regular deadlines have passed.

Here's how it typically works:

1. Regular Deadline: This is the main deadline for college applications and is firm.

2. Late Consideration: Sometimes, even after the regular deadline, a college may still allow applications and consider them on a space-available basis. Not all schools do this, though.

3. Rolling Admissions: Colleges with a rolling admissions policy accept applications until they've filled all the spots in their incoming class.

Remember to reach out directly to the admissions office at the specific city colleges you're interested in to see if they will consider late applications.

Lastly, you should also consider community colleges as they tend to have more flexible admissions policies and can be an excellent stepping stone to a four-year program. But again, it's always a good idea to confirm by looking at the specific college's website or contacting their admissions office.
