University of Colorado - Rolling or Non-Rolling?

I just posted this in another thread, but thought I'd put the question out there in general. Does anyone know if the University of Colorado is rolling or non-rolling? I'd always understood that they were rolling, but when I interviewed there, they said they wouldn't give us a decision until March. Some current students I spoke with on the day of the interview said that the decision was actually being made that day. If they are indeed rolling, why would the admissions staff sit on the decisions? Just curious.

From what I understand, CU attributes a numerical score to you based on your GPA, MCAT, interview, etc... soon after your interview day - and I think that's pretty much set in stone (so it's probably pointless to send in updates/transcripts/letters after that).

Then, come mid-March (I think it was the beginning of April for the previous year) when all interviews are completed, they accept the first 132 applicants starting from the top of the list, i.e. those with the highest #'s.

So, admissions is "non-rolling" in spite of the aforementioned; although, some people are accepted outright if they're really really really good 😛 😛

Good luck
