🏫 College Advising

For a college with a 'rolling admission' policy, what is the best advice a college advisor can give regarding application timing?

A Apply as close to the start of the application window as possible, as decisions are made continually until spots are filled.
B Wait until all academic results for the current year are available to strengthen the application.
C Submit the application just before the final deadline to ensure a thorough and complete review.
D Applications are reviewed only after all materials are received from every applicant.

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Rolling admission means applications are reviewed and decisions are made as they come in. Applying early increases the chances of acceptance because more spots and financial aid are typically available at the beginning of the cycle.
