Colleges with Rolling Admissions

Colleges with rolling admissions policies can be difficult to find.

“Rolling admission” means that the college considers applications during a period of several months before the academic year begins.

Potential places are filled as applications are considered, and the rolling admissions period ends when all of the places have been filed.

Prospective students need to be aware that a rolling admissions policy does not mean that the college has no application deadline.




There may also be deadlines for financial aid and housing, so you will need to be organized when preparing your application.

You can find lists of colleges with rolling admission by doing a simple search online.

However, you need to be careful about choosing the college that is right for you, as well as selecting the one with the best ranking.

In this post, we are going to talk about the best, most highly-ranked colleges that have rolling admissions.

Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota is a private college with a total enrollment of approximately 2,500 students.

Located in Decorah, Iowa, Luther College is a highly-ranked private college.

Oral Roberts University is a private university in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Like Gustavus Adolphus College, Luther College and Oral Roberts University accept admissions on a rolling basis. They both also have a student body of around 2,500 students.
