Rolling admissions?

I'm thinking about applying to more schools. Which schools do not have rolling admissions? Or which ones would I have a better shot at than others applying later. Thanks!

Man, if you're applying to schools simply because of their admissions policies, are you sure you want to waste your $60-$100 on their secondaries. I mean, for real.....why don't you just put all the schools together in a hat and pick out ten more.

You know I've read some of your other responses, and I'm sure hope that you aren't my doctor someday. You sure seem to know everything already, I'm surprised you think medical school is good enough for you.

My quesiton is asked because if I still am thinking of applying to more schools this late in the game, it might not be worth it to apply to certain schools if they will already have their classes practically filled by the time I would have a chance. If I'm trying to save funds, why not spend the money on a school that fills their spots at the end?

Well, let's see...i know upenn doesn't. that's the only one i know. good luck. on another note, i decided not to send my apps to my last five schools because of the rolling thing.

i think everyone is getting worried and anal-retentive because of all the waiting. i say relax and see what happens...and i think it's everyone's nerves that makes some responses sound rude. i don't think it's their goal to sound that way, it's just a reflex when everyone is anxious.

good luck! hope to see your name on the acceptance thread.

Beside U Penn, Columbia, Yale, Harvard don't have rolling admission as well. Northwestern has semi-rolling admission where acceptances are sent out in November than in February again.

BU is not really rolling.

Cornell says it's not rolling either, but the MSAR lists the earliest notification date as some time before March (I don't remember exactly when it is). I wonder if its policy is something like Northwestern's...

Cornell said they accept very few students in December. Almost all acceptances are mailed out in March.

Hamburgers:

I'm sorry if I offended you. It was unintentional, but I suppose the sarcastic tone of my response played a part in it. The message I meant to convey was that you you should take care to not apply to schools simply because of their admissions policies. Some doctors graduate medical school pissed off because they hated going to school where they were. So, it's very important that you'll be happy where you go to school. That's all I meant, so I'm sorry if my sarcasm got the better of me.

You also might want to look at schools that tend to take students off of their waitlists.

Sorry a noob question here. So most of the top schools don't have rolling admissions? So if I applied in june vs. someone who applied in October, we would get our decisions at the same time?

Exactly!
