What exactly does this mean?

Hey SDN

I noticed that NYU, Harvard and Yale do not have rolling admissions.

Does this mean that a person who submitted secondaries in July gets the same consideration as someone who applied in September?

Thank you

More or less

Actually, it's more that the people who interview in September are given the same consideration as those who interview in January.

You're still competing for a limited number of interview slots, which are given out on a rolling basis even if acceptances are not. If you're complete in July, you're at the front of the pile. If you're complete in December, you're at the back of the pile, and interview slots may be gone by the time your application comes up. The rest are somewhere between.
