🏫 College Advising

What is a defining characteristic of a "Rolling Admission" policy in college admissions?

A All applications are reviewed only after a single, fixed deadline.
B Applications are reviewed as they are received, and decisions are made on an ongoing basis until the class is full.
C Students are guaranteed admission if they apply before a specific early deadline.
D It is a binding commitment where students must enroll if accepted.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Rolling admission means colleges evaluate applications continuously as they arrive, issuing decisions promptly. This differs from fixed deadlines and often favors earlier applicants as spots fill up.
